I would wait until the babys are older. Maybe. Around 3 weeks.

Personally, I would wait until the kits are a few weeks old also.

She should be fine if you take her out to her exercise pen. I wouldn't leave her out there for more than an hour though. She will like being able to get some exercise as well as being able to get away from the babies for a bit.

They only are ever in with the kits when feeding anyway, so she shouldn't abandon them or anything.

8 days is still a bit early, but they could, yes. Within the next few days they will be opening them and it's important that you keep a close eye on them to make sure that their eyes don't get stuck shut with goo and stuff. You'll need to carefully open them with a warm washcloth.

im gonna try getting pics on.Soon.one has both eyes open the other two have one and one of them doesnt have any open.is it normal for them to open them like "this"or should i help.

 

[Oreonme]

plus when to there ears open if not already.

 

[woahlookitsme]

They are only 10 days as of today. If there are any unopened eyes by day 14 then use a washcloth and help open them. Right now some may open both some may have one open and some may have neither that is normal.

As far as ears im not sure when they open up but by day 14 our babies seem to have full motion and control over them.

Here are my moms polish babies that were around day 14 if i remember correctly and as you can see their ears can already stand up to listen to things and investigate.
