1. I don't think it will be good for them. Maybe they haven't looked into the light of it yet.I wouldn't want to take any risks if you love your animals a lot.
2. YES! Please be careful.
3. Yes but unlike humans I would hope they have the sense to look away. Still I would take precautions as the effects are often not felt till much later. The damage is cumulative too.
