    the soaking should help them poop, so is there any? That way we can say it's not impaction. It shouldve changed by now. Any cleaners being used in the room there in? Anything that stinks up the room is very bad for them. This includes like arm n hammer carpet stuff, room sprays, cleaning products, arisol deoderant.....

    The eyelids not closing is fine, they have an inner eye lid that protects the eye while they sleep but also allows them to see their surroundings and check out predators. As far as I know anyway. Here's a pic I found online of one sleeping.

    That's normal. And for the first few months they may sleep with them open wider, maybe out of paranoia. My WTF slept with one eye open for two weeks after I brought him home.

    As for the yawning, could they have been shedding?

    Well I am happy to report that the "swelling" went down after a couple days, They seem to be doing much better they are eating and I have found some of their poop which is good. Thank you so much everyone for your help.
