Open their eyes??

Ambers babies are 13 days old today. 3 of them have opened their eyes today, the other 3 still havent. Im worried because i remember a forum member whos babie didnt open their eyes and the ended up blind/bad sight. Any advice greatly appreciated :) xxx

They should be open by 10 days
If not you need to gently bathe them with cooled boiled water using a sterile swab xx
 
You haven't. The average is 11-12 days, but they can open anytime between 10-14. After 14 you can bathe them with cooled boiled water.

Don't prise them open though (sure you wouldn't), and if any open and then close, then they need to see a vet.

Well tomorrow is 14 days... hopefully they will open themselves :? Will gently bathe them later, they do look like they have sleep in their eyes?

When they are about 10 days old but it could be longer:)if you are worried then you could try bathing them with some warm water and cotton wool:)
 
Ive bathed them with cool boiled water and they are now all open :) They were opening by themselves anyway, and i think if i'd of left it, they wouldve been open tomorrow morning :) xXx
