Interesting thing I read about paint, which seems counterintuitive. Those people who are highly allergic to almost everything have to live in homes where the wall paint is oil-based. Even thought those paints have intense fumes when wet, when they dry, they become inert, whereas acrylic/latex paints continue to gas off forever.

Thanks! Don't need to put the boys in the newly-painted cage til mid-Aug.Thanks so much for your help!

How big of a cage do you need?  Many of the new cages are not painted but powder coated and baked.
