Hey Whitney!

If they are behind in opening their eyes they may have an infection under the eyelids. Try soaking them open with warm water and a cotton ball - just bathe them and with the warm water and see if you can get them loosened up. They may start to crack open at the corner - and once they do keep working at it.

Once they open keep them flushed so they don't gunk over. Try this and report back.
