Interesting. Thank you for posting these videos so us newcomers know what we might encounter.
Thanks for this video. And for lots of your videos, to be honest. I've learned more from your site than any other source. I went out today and noticed one of my kits that is 20 days old had one eye gooed closed. I brought it in and did this treatment. It's eye is open now but is gooey. I've ordered some Terramycin in case we need it. When I discovered the problem this morning I thought to myself "I hope Bobby has something on this." You came through, as usual. Thanks again!
I’m so glad you found the video helpful. Best of luck with your rabbit!
Awesome! You are so gentle.
So glad you liked the video. Their little eye lids can tear if you're not patient. Thanks for watching!
Very informative. Thanks and regards
You're very welcome. Thanks for watching.
I've been breeding rabbits for a couple years now and I have yet to see a case of nest eye. I have more experience with cats. Newborn kittens tend to get eye infections from exposure to vaginal bacteria during birth. I would imagine that's what's going on with nest eye. Newborn humans get medicine in their eyes whether they look like they need it or not just to prevent infection from vaginal bacteria.
Wow. You learn something everyday.
Infections are something you want to avoid for sure.
I just breed New Zealand rabbits. No experience with cats.
Nest eye is rare but it happens to most of us eventually. Increasing litter numbers will increase your chances of seeing it. When a kits eye remains shut it could get a bad infection or worse case scenario turn milky white and result in permanent blindness.
Keep up the good work sounds like you're keeping your nesting boxes clean.
Thanks I got two bunnies 14 day old I'll give them the treatment
Hope their eyes make it! Thanks for watching
@@TheRabbitryCenter
Both eyes opened using your method.
Thanks
Going to change out their nest box tomorrow.
@@davidpardue9889 So glad your rabbits are doing well. Thanks for the update!
I just finished doing the same thing to one of my does. She did wind up with some infection and I was using both the antibiotics and instead of saline I used the vetracin eyewash wash that I use on my goats and horses.
Where do you buy your vetracin? Do you think it works better than Saline or is it less expensive?
My dwarf bunny is 8 weeks old can I use the wash and the ointment in him ??
What day do you check to make sure their eyes are open? I know you mentioned this in another video, but I can't seem to find it.... thanks!
Day 10
@@TheRabbitryCenter Thank you!
At what age would you recommend intervening? We have a litter of 6 that are 2 weeks old. 5 have eyes open, one still has both closed.
12-14 days is a reasonable time. All rabbits eyes should be open by then.
@@TheRabbitryCenter Ok, thank you!
The longer you wait the worse it gets,,,when you see it take care of it, don’t procrastinate
Does this happen after their eyes open on their own? My kits are 2 weeks old today. They open their eyes, but I am worried they will get it...first time breeder here. Also, how old are the kits you have in the video? Thank you!
NO this doesn't happen when they open on their own.
the rabbits are about 2 weeks old.
Do you think the nest eye might be a result of the kindling totes plus DE? Curious b/c I'm thinking about making totes as well. Thanks!
Nest eye is caused by bacteria in the litter box. This can happen a number of ways. The straw that made up the nest got dirty or a kit could've been peed on or it could be winter time and the litter is burrowing deeper than in the summer time where they'd want to stay cool above the chips and straw. I couldn't tell you for sure what the exact cause was but I can tell you that we don't see a lot of nest eye but with 3 litters going constantly it does happen from time to time. The good news is its easy to fix. Your rabbit is most importantly alive and back to normal in a few days. We wanted to do this video for some time but had to wait patiently for a kit to get it.
@@TheRabbitryCenter Thanks, that's most helpful!
I have just started out with my rabbits.....Is this a common issue?
What’s your question?
@@TheRabbitryCenter closed eyes, having to open them.
It doesn’t happen with every litter in most cases you won’t need to worry
Just had a new momma bunny give birth and she won't come out of the box been 2 days should I worry
can you tip over the box just to take a peak?
@@TheRabbitryCenter yea I've checked on them the first day made sure all was well there all doing good she is just staying in the box all the time never had that happen before. Usually it's the opposite lol
