Please be careful with using the flash at such a young age, it can damage their eyes.

Don't worry, there is definitely no flash used. Just a good camera!

They will all open their eyes at different rates. I've got a litter of 7 born on the 18th and some have got their eyes wide open and have had them open for ages, some have only had them open for a few days and one of my red silver and white boys has currently got got one eye wide open and one half open. It's perfectly normal so don't panic  :)

Very cute looking tortie tabby and white girl you've got there  :Luv:

Concern with size of new born kittens eyes.

Hi,

We have recently had a small litter of 3 kittens. Now it is day 12 their eyes are opening. We have noticed the first born kittens eyes (female) are different to the others.

The 2 boys eyes are looking quite large and open. The females are looking like this:



Should we be concerned, as the left eye looks like it is fully formed but small.

As I said they are on day 12 so it could be that they are still developing.

And past experience with this, or advice?

Thanks.
