How long till baby bunnies open their eyes?

My rabbit gave birth to 2 bunnies 9 days ago and i was wondering at what age do they start to open their eyes?

    Baby rabbits start to open their eyes around 12-14 days old and start coming out of the nest box about the same time, at 14 days old you can remove the nest box (depending on the weather generally) as long as they have a solid part of the floor to stand on. If they are in a solid bottom cage put some extra bedding in the corner their nest box was in and they should be fine.

    At three weeks they start nibbling on food/water, so make sure that the water bottle or crock is where they can reach it and free feed the doe pellets and a good quality grass hay.

    Good luck and those are cute babies !

    they open their eyes a little after week one and start to venture out at about 2-3 weeks. I think it also just depends on the bunny. I had one that crawled/rolled over the nests dam and across the bathroom at 2 days of age.
