Expert Answer

Rabbits generally open their eyes 1 to 2 weeks after birth; if not by 2 weeks, take them to a veterinary hospital to check the eyes. As eyes open, ears open and fur grows. At this stage their constitution is still weak, so keep them warm at about 28 C. Cold greatly harms rabbits, especially young ones, so warm them promptly when temperature drops.
