Our Cocoa, pound-and-a-half female, can actually climb a brick wall,
slowly, but straight up.
Our ferrets live in a small room off the kitchen, an addition with
windows and a door on three walls, but the original outside wall is
brick.  We took out the door and replaced it with a 2 ft.  boys  [sic]
contained, but when we got Cocoa and she grew up a little, she started
climbing the bricks, shifting over to the gate, and jumping over.  It
took about a week to figure out wooden barriers to stop her.
 
A while ago she got ahold of a crayon and for a day she passed the most
beautiful, bright blue stools! She seems fine. Any idea if there could be
any lasting effects? We think she ate the whole thing.
