Best Answer

If it is a fine screen mesh or something like that, yes. If it is a hard metal like thick bars on a cage or a metal plate, no. Basically, you don't want to house them in an aquarium with a screen top or something like that because they will chew through the top and escape. You can, however, put them in a cage with metal bars that are 1" or smaller in spacing.
