Subject: RE: [Ferret-Health-list] Photoperiods and sleeping quarters

Hi Roger, I think its safe to assume that if the ferrets find
they have access to light more than 14 hours a day they think
it is summer and less than 10 winter. Whether they sleep most
of the day ( as they do in the wild ) does not seem to make
much difference. I think the dark sleeping area helps to lower
stress levels as it is more natural for the ferrets. Chris.
