Subject: [ferrethealth] RE: melatonin implant
A few hours does not cut it. Currently, about 14 hours of complete darkness (not just dimness) is what is thought to be the amount needed if melatonin that is naturally produced by the ferret's body is wanted.
Otherwise, this should answer all of your questions:
