Subject: [ferrethealth] darkness/natural sunlight
To: ferrethealth@smartgroups.com
I know there is much discussion about ferrets getting total darkness if
possible, and that for many, it is not possible or practical. My ferrets are in a
basement bedroom and I have covered up the very small high window, so they
actually get total darkness. My question is whether they also need to get
natural sunlight for this to be possibly helpful or effective for them? In other
words, right now they get total darkness when they aren't out in their room for
playtime, and when they are playing each day, they get the artificial lights
in that bedroom. For this to really work, do I need to uncover their window
during the day to let in the natural sunlight, or is it enough for them to
simply get the darkness when they aren't up playing. The reason I ask is that it
is hard for me to get to that window to seal and unseal it, but if it makes a
potential difference, I will arrange to remove the covering each day during the
day. If anyone knows this, thanks in advance for sharing !
