1/4 or 1/2 wire mesh for mice?

marksd Mar 30, 2004 06:58 PM

Just wondering what everyone used for the mesh in a rack type system. I used 1/2 for rats but not sure on mice. I thought mice could get out of 1/2 inch, well fuzzies mice anyway. I was wondering if mice can eat food through 1/4 mesh.

they can eat through it fine, and 1/2 they can get out. Good luck. Craig Kade

If you use the 1/2 inch, they will definitely get out. The 1/4 inch mesh works well though. Mice can chew through it but not too often.
