When will the bunnies hop out of the nest box?

                          They'll open their eyes at 10- 14 days old. They hop out of the nest box at 13 to 18 days old. Make sure you clean the nest box at about 10 days old or they'll get a eye disease called " Nest box eyes". The way to help that is to:

  • Clean the nest box
  • Buy a medicine called "Terramycin" oil 
  • Use a warm, damp cloth and rub it on the eyes, gently pull the eyes open THIS IS ONLY IF THE EYES AREN'T OPENED
My bunnies hopped out of the nest box at 16 days old. If they're more than 18 days old and haven't hopped out, but opened their eyes, help them out and get rid of the nest box because they no longer need it. If they HAVE hopped out of the nest, but their eyes ARE NOT opened, immediately go to the vet, because there's something wrong with them.
