So I found some chew marks and shredded plastic this morning.
Looks like the mice in the bottom drawer used the water bottle to climb up. Fortunately there are none missing.
You can kinda see the chew marks and plastic dust from being chewed.
So I created something to put around the water bottle to make it so if one did climb up it wouldnt be able to get all the way up.
Please let me know if this looks like it'd detour escapees. I'm not very good at this kind of thing.
Please let me know if it still looks escapable, and what I could do to fix it cheaply.
*I also rubbed Thai dragon pepper juice from my pepper plant on the handle. Thought the taste/smell might keep them off if my contraption doesn't work.
