Grey squirrels' eyes open between the 30th & 40th day of life, so that's anytime between 4 weeks and 2 days old, to 5 weeks and 5 days old. Yours are probably just late eye-openers...this is normal. I have had babies that were huge and furry and FAST, but without eyes opened yet! Now that's an accident waiting to happen....:rotfl

:wave123 All my grays didn't open their eyes until they were past the five week old mark,maybe they are not as old as you thought.:crybaby :Love_Icon I'm sure they are fine ,and you will be so excited when they finally can look at you and you can look back into their beautiful eyes.What a joy.:jump Something to look forward to!:flash

my gray was almost at six weeks before her eyes opened. Her right eye was open a full two days before her left eye decided to make an appearance! Talk about "odd" looking!
