Sometimes I put some hay inside a reg brown lunch sack, you can buy a bunch for $2. You can buy corn husks at the store which are use for making tamales. Examine them and throw away any that appear moldy. A metal coffee can can be used as a hidey place. Run sandpaper around the part where you have cut the lid off, it will have sharp spots. Place it on the floor or mount it well with nuts, bolts and washers
