bunnies eyes

Question
One of the bunnies that is now 17 days old has one eye open but the other isn't. Do I need to help open the eye in someway?

Answer
Eyes should open around 10 days. If they are not open after 13 days, it usually means there is an infection in the eye. Try a warm, moist compress on the eye. You can gently rub around the eye, but do not force the eye open. Likely at this point, the eye will be blind. If you cannot get it to open with the compress and gentle rubbing, you will need vet help.
