sue 1 Posted June 14, 2008 Report Share Posted June 14, 2008 they do seem very late at opening their eyes ,have a close look and see if there is any dried gunk around them ,you may need to use some cooled boiled water on some cotton wool to remove the gunk carefully just wiping across their eyes from their nose back to their ears Quote Link to post
lorelei0922 2 Posted June 14, 2008 Report Share Posted June 14, 2008 mine were all just about 5 weeks plus a few days ... one even refused to open them till ALMOST th end of the week... did a good check over them as sue suggests but there wasn't anything around the eyes.. just stayed closed.. all open and lookin around now though of course!
