If a newborn raccoon's eyes are not open and it has no teeth, you can feed it a special formula called Esbilac Puppy Milk Replacer. This formula is available at most pet stores and should be fed using a syringe or dropper every 2-3 hours around the clock. It's important to warm the milk to body temperature before feeding to ensure the baby raccoon can digest it properly.
To determine the age of a baby raccoon, observe its physical characteristics. Newborns are hairless and have closed eyes, while those about 2-3 weeks old start to develop fur and open their eyes. By 5-6 weeks, they begin to explore outside the den and are more mobile. Generally, the size and behavior can help estimate their age, with older raccoons being more active and adventurous.
After 6-8 weeks. That's when they open their eyes
It usually takes two weeks for them to open their eyes!!
No, ferrets are not born with their eyes open. Baby ferrets open their eyes when they are about 34 days old.
