My doe had 3 kits who are 12 days old today none of them have their eyes open yet although i do sometimes see one of them squinting and walking around. When i look at the babies eyes they look crusty? I have cleaned their eyes with warm cotton wool and warm water but it doesn't seem to be doing anything could this be nest box eye and when should i start to worry? would be grateful for any advice.

You need to get a Vet to take a look at them as it could be 'nest eye' and this can cause severe life-long issues including blindness

I would call the Vet out today rather than moving the kits.
