It was fun watching the birds feed and the squirrels try to "break" this birdfeeder. It took them months but they funally did ruin it by eating a large hole in the plastic. What now?

Bought this in a store. Found it to be defective, so emailed Perty Pet. I was told response in 24 hours. After 4 days, I called. The woman I spoke with sent out replacement. PROBLEM: Bottom of seed tube falls off if a squirrel puts any weight on it. Need to come up with a better way to keep bottom on. The squirrels have chewed any plastic they can reach AROUND the cage. Very disapponinted with this product.
