Hello!
I am looking into converting an old armoire I have into my next rat cage. One of the questions I have is, would vinyl hardware mesh be acceptible? Neither of my rats chew on the bars of the cage. I can get the mesh in 1/2" spacings or 1/4" spacings. I am thinking about the vinyl over the galvanized mesh just for safety concerns once cut. The vinyl is less likely to potentially cut a tiny foot.
Also, this armoire I'm using is dark colored. How do I get more light inside of it? Even converting the front doors to mesh, the inside still seems rather dark. I've contemplated using those peel 'n stick tiles in a light color - but are there other ways?
