Subject: Re: [ferrethealth] Question on timing of light cycle
To: ferrethealth@yahoogroups.com

I keep my ferret room dark, with a string of decorative lights as a
"nightlight" but they only get full light while I'm cleaning. I
haven't been operating long enough to know if it helps, but it's
supposedly more similar to how they'd live outside.
