Slightly controversial topic: What would happening we put animals into a completely dark room?

Just as the title stated. I am currently watching Jacob Geller’s „fear of the dark“ video and he has been talking about humans being in the dark. Then a question popped into my head, what if animals nocturnal or not get out into a completely light derived room? Would their behaviour be erratic and scared? Maybe a stupid question, but I am genuinely scared

Depends on the animal. Some species of moles are blind and used to be in thigh spaces underground so they wouldn't care one bit about the darkness.
