Ways to seal off slits in a chinchilla ball half-way?

Question

So I have what's basically an over-sized hamster ball for my chinchilla. He loves to run and roll around in it and it allows him to get good exercise while still being protected in my non-chinchilla-friendly dorm room. The only problem is that the slits in the sides of it are just a little too wide. Chinchillas tend to poop a lot, and when he's rolling around, the poop is small enough to just fit through the slits and then I have poop all over my room! I was looking for a way to seal off like maybe half of the slit so that this won't happen. I don't want it to impede the rolling of the ball or be harmful to my chinchilla inside. I was thinking of possibly duct tape or super glue, but then both of those seemed like not very good ideas to me. Any crafty thoughts or other ideas on this issue would be greatly appreciated though!

I don't think that a chinchilla is the pet for you, and highly advise that you give him to a shelter or to someone that will properly take care of him. Chinchillas must NEVER EVER EVER be in a ball. EVER! Your chinchilla can die in them from heat and humidity, and then you want to go and seal it off further. They're also very damaging to the delicate spine. Chinchillas need a safe place to run around freely. A ball forces them to run in an unnatural way. They don't walk often, but hop, and a ball impedes this. Balls are extremely cruel. If you have stuff in your room you don't want chewed, then put it away, or cover it in plain brown cardboard.

pay attention jackass, i'm a astounding guy or woman. So i will purchase a barrel of butter to dip this shotgun in until now I shove it up your A$$ advert blow your fcuking brains out in case you are not getting the hell out of my existence. And if I ever see you back, what's left of your head would be a bobble toy for the dogs to play with.
