How old are kits when they typically open their eyes?

Kits, or baby rabbits, typically begin to open their eyes around 7 to 10 days of age. This development is a normal part of their growth as they transition from the completely dependent stage of newborns to becoming more aware of their surroundings. At this age, their eyes will begin to open, allowing them to start taking in visual stimuli, which is crucial as they grow and start to interact more with their environment.

The other options fall outside the typical age range for eye opening in kits; before 7 days, they are still very much in nursed and protected stages, and after 10 days, while they may have their eyes open, it becomes less common for it to be the average time frame. Hence, selecting 7-10 days aligns with the typical developmental milestones of rabbits.
