Re: Pinky mice vs pinky rats
How odd. All my pups are opening their eyes by day 14 or 15, are fully furred and their ears are erect or almost so. Usually by day 20 they are racing around eating out of mom's food dish, drinking from the water bottle, though of course still harrassing mom for nursing (being the little leeches they are LOL).

Re: Pinky mice vs pinky rats
I call them pinks until they get hair then they are fuzzies, pups, weanlings. Rats I refer to as small, medium, large, XLarge. and XXLarge. Mice IMO are just either adults or pinks, fuzzies, pups, weanlings. I don't do the small adults, large adult, and XL adult because they all look the same to me

Too many boas to list and a few balls as well

Mine are probably just closing their eyes and folding their ears back to trick mom and get extra milk
But seriously, I have noticed differences amonth different lines, so it could be mine are just freaks

Re: Pinky mice vs pinky rats
I agree with the timeline of around 2 weeks for eye opening...I would be concerned if it took close to a month!
As you said could be strange genetics in the lines your working with but still seems like a long time.

18-20 days isnt exactly close to a month
But 14 days? I cant count the number of times I've had pups, with their eyes closed and ears flat back, that weighed 35-50 grams. I will mark a few and watch them close, but I think 18-20 days is the normal timeline for my guys.
