The cage sounds interesting and very do-able. Just remember the mouse will eat the cardboard. It is what they do.
It must be very fine mesh chicken wire. The stuff I have seen here wouldn't hold a mouse. I am not sure it would hold a rat. The holes are large enough a chicken could stick its head out. So why do we call it chicken wire?
Shredded grass is nice for bedding so is a shredded piece of paper towel or Kleenex. It fluffs up very nicely when a rodent shreds it.
Good luck. Do post a picture of your cage. I am interested to see how it turns out.
