Thanks for putting up with me everyone:) so I read that if eyes are not open by day 12, you should assist with warm water and cotton ball. My question is how do you count days.my kits were born the morning of May 5th. Is that day one or is May 6 th day1 because they are 24 hrs old?

Thanks all! I checked tummies this am after reviewing the fed-unfed thread. It seems like one or two from each bunch had round tummies but the other didn't. Will some get fed while others get ignored? I am going to recheck in 2 hours.

Hi all. So glad to have found this forum. I was wondering if there is a guide to how many grams a day kits should gain. My holland lop babies are 2 days old.
