Bunny born with no eyes or nest eye?

[Emthebunnylover]

Hi, I am hoping somone can help or advise. I have had the most beautiful litter of 9 mini lop bunnies born recently and they are all doing very well, and being fed! There is just one bunny that appears to have no eyes. I do checks on all the bunnies for nest eye and have helped 2 others with thier eyes but they are now fine. The bunnies are 3 weeks old on tuesday. This perticular bunny seems to just has fur where the eyes are supposed to be, i can't see anything there. Will this little one make it with no eyes? Do i need to get a proffessional to look at it? Could it have eyes that are yet to open? I'd be so glad if somone can help or advise.

Thanks x

It will help others commenting if you can post a clear close up photo of both eye areas.

At 3 weeks you need to get a vet to look at it. They should have opened by 14 days.
In parting the hair are you saying there is no slit for the eyes?

I had a kit that I thought was blind too. But it was just really swollen. I use saline and a warm soft baby wash cloth and gently rub along where the slit should be. Might just be so crusted that it's sealed pretty good. If not,
I echo was @majorv said and take the kit in.
