A few questions about kits

[nessie122 0]

Hi,

 

Can anyone answer me a few questions that I have about kits.

 

1) What age do their eyes open?

2) At what age can you tell the colour they will be?

3) When will they start to leave the nestbox?

 

Cheers

Nessie

1, around 5 weeks

2, you can tell albino's from birth (closed eye) and colours rougly as they grow fur

3, 4 to 5 weeks, they will start hunting food smells even before their eyes are open

as stubby said.

mine opened there eyes at 4week and 2days.

albino have a slight pink colour behind there closed eyelids where as any others will be dark. you will see the difference in colour after a couple of week although it gets more pronounced as they get older mate

If they can they will leave the nest before their eyes are open but mum will drag them back in.Some will take them back in when full grown.P1
