Baby Eyes

[Kaden]

It is day 12 and my baby dutch who is the only child still has not opened its eye. Should I be concerned and if I need to do something what should I do? All help is appreciated!

Did some research they should open soon. If not over night then i suggest seeking out professional help!

Kits’ eyes typically open between 10-14 days of age. By day 14 if they aren’t open yet you can take a wet cloth (use warm water to wet it with) and gently wipe the eyelid to loosen it. Then, with one finger above and one below the eye, gently try pulling the eyelid apart. You may have to wet it again and repeat. Their eyes should be open by two weeks of age or they could develop other eye problems.
