Re: Craft Mesh help
You can buy colored if you want! It's no different than plastic plants. Craft stores often a huge selection of shades.
They don't really eat it - if you check their poop you won't find bright green plastic in it - but they will sit and pick at it if they get bored.

Re: Craft Mesh help
I used zip ties on the mesh ramp to pinch it together. That way it kept it's shape but was still removable.
