Default Plastic sealer?

I've bought a temporary but used Ferplast Duna Multy which was in a good condition except for the water bottle hole, it's gnawed a bit, but not bad enough to be escapable.
Does anyone know what I can use some sort of sealant to cover the gnawed part?

A lot of people stick a nut and bolt in it to block it off Or one of those wood chews with a screw and bolt on which can look more interesting! Or this kind of thing. Then have a bottle on a stand instead of using the hole.

Thanks, I never thought of that, I actually have two water bottle "stands" that I bought from Qualipet called a Trinkflasche Podest, and it was basically the generic plastic water bottle holders.
As for a bolt or nut, I've never used one before, can you please give me a picture of it, size that can block pretty much the whole water bottle hole?

Same kind of thing as on the end of that shelf - it's like a big screw with a wingnut washer to screw on to it so it stays firm in place - as on the shelf. But instead of a shelf on the end it's a kind of lump of metal usually hexagonal shaped Ithink.

If you have a look at the fourth photo here you can see an example of a nut & bolt being used.
