Now to answer all your questions....
1. 4ft is just the depth of the foam. There will be bed mattresses laid on the bottom because the foam cubes can shift, beds cannot.
2. I will be using 8"x8"x8" foam gymnast cubes. It will cost me approximately $2000 to have them bought and shipped here.
3. The actual pit will be framed with 2x4's and covered with plywood. The bottom will most likely be concrete.... once again with bed mattresses placed at the bottom.
I have considered making a "lid" for the pit. This idea consisted of making a box with 2x4's the axact dimensions of the OUTSIDE of the pit. Then placing a 2x4 vertically across in the middle (like a rood peak...keeps the rain from pooling) and stapling a large tarp all the way around on the edges. This would then be mounted to the end of the foam pit on large hinges.
Any other suggestions? Pictures will be posted when completed

stop being such a tool bag.. I have never seen one positive post from you. your name should be brown for shity member. and also you think shes being stupid... by trying to contribute. you also dont know what the fuck your talking about. Rodents actualy love cleanlyness they actualy clean themselves much more than people and they stay away from dirty places if they can. I have two rats and work at a pet shop. dont hate on people for saying "ignorant things" especialy if your going to top it off with an other ignorant comment

ya pretty much what everyones said, make it all solid all the way around then get some sort plexiglass/strong wood/covering mice cant get though and just put a rock on top while your not using it, a little crude but effective. moth balls would be a nice touchif you dont end up covering it, make sure you get a video of it because it would be jokes to see you kang flip in a nd a squirrel just like jumps out and bites you haha
