Run wire!?

We recently had a mink break-in and found out the booger chewed thru the wire into the cage. And this WAS pretty strong stuff. So, what can I now use? Any suggestions, names, types, whatever! Thank you!

Evidently not strong enough.

Describe what you're trying to enclose

I second the beauty and utility of electricity. We use electric poultry netting for our laying hen run (surrounds the whole coop) and an electric wire around the bottom of our broiler tractor. High predator area, no break-ins.
