I have missed a few days while I was at the IFC symposium in Phoenix and am just catching up on reading emails. One option for the wall would be to clean it well and then attach a sheet of polyethylene wall covering to the wall using small screws and washers rather than gluing it to the wall as it is intended. This product, Plastex, I have used in cages for floors and food guards; it cleans up beautifully. Find it at the back of Home Depot for about $21. Cut easily to fit as you probably don't need it to go to the ceiling. Don't hang a shower curtain on the cage, the ferrets will work on it from inside and shred it. When I do clean my painted walls I use warm water with maybe a half cup of enzyme cleaner in it, Simple Solution, etc, and it helps dissolve the dried decorations, then rinse with clean water. It comes off pretty well. Carol J. Owens Ferret Friends, Inc. Tucson Az [Posted in FML 7084]
