11 days at the earliest, 14 days at the latest.
Don't worry. They'll open their eyes soon. If, after a few more days they don't, you should contact your local vet.
No. They are shut.
As soon as they are born no. Around 3 weeks is when they're eyes open and they cant really see clearly until around 5 weeks.
Hamster pups usually open their eyes at around 14-16 days old, so it's not uncommon for them to still have closed eyes at 17 days old. Keep monitoring them closely, as they should be opening their eyes within the next few days. If they haven't opened their eyes by day 21, consider consulting a veterinarian for advice.
You should try & handle baby rats from 5 days onwards. It the mother tries to bite you, or you're scared of her rejecting the babies after wards, you can wait till they are opening their eyes or 3 weeks old.
yes, as soon as a baby around five or six weeks old (generally the time the babys eyes will open for the first time) starts eating solid foods bananas are quite acceptable
Baby ducks are able to walk and move around within hours of hatching. They are precocial birds, which means they are born with their eyes open and covered in down feathers, allowing them to be mobile from the moment they hatch.
Baby mammals are fed milk by their mothers. Raccoons and other animals whose eyes do not open as soon as they are born still drink milk like other mammals. They smell and feel their way to their mother's teats for a good meal. After a few days, their eyes open and they start exploring their world. They still drink milk for a few weeks.
You can hold the kittens right after their eyes and ears are open. If you hold them to soon they might lose their mother's sent and the mother wont recognize her baby and stop feeding it.
close your eyes and think of a happy time in your life, open your eyes and speak
Probably not. The mother could be very protective and also if you are not very very careful you could hurt the kittens. But soon after they open their eyes I think it might be safer.
Yes, this sounds quite normal. When they very first open they can look a little gunked up. Keep a close eye on them and it should clear very soon. If this continues to be a problem then it would be best to take ask some advice from a vet.
