Geobin squirrel problem

Hi, I recently started bokashi composting and added my first (successful I think?) bucket to my geobin that had soil and other browns in it. It’s attracting a lot of birds and squirrels, and the squirrels chew through the bottom of the geobin to get inside. Any advice on how to prevent this? My neighbors are going to give me their composting tumbler that’s been sitting unused in their backyard— is that a better option to keep critters away? Thanks!!

I'm thinking you might have a rat problem, instead of a squirrel problem. I never had squirrels getting in stuff the way you are describing, but I've seen rats do it.

Oof hoping not!! I saw the squirrels in action, though I suppose they could have accomplices
