plzz help

Answer 1

They may need to see a vet. The eyes should be opened and if some aren't there could be a problems like matter in the eye that can make them stick shut....which can signal an infection. At three weeks they should be starting to walk also.

Answer 2

Here is a nice website that lists the developmental changes by week through week 8. By the information you have given, they don't sound that old. According to this website, a kitten crawls around 18 days and stands around 21 days. The eyes should be open between 8 and 14 days.

Last fall I had orphaned kittens that I estimated to be about 12-14 days old..their eyes were open, but just open. I used this website to track their progress and to be sure I was feeding the proper amounts. The information was useful in determining when to introduce solid foods and start litter training.

Purrs to you and your tiny kittens.

Answer 3

Don't "help"! They will open on their own. Remember, Kittens sleep about 20 hours a day, so don't be alarmed. They will pull themselves around Mom to get a grip and feed, but they really wont walk on four legs until around 5 weeks. They're like human babies, so make sure the bedding is changed at least every other day to keep it fresh or they will get skin irritations. Good luck.
