Not to sure whether she just seems to sleep alot, or if her eyes are genuinely sticky shut? All the temps are right, I turn her lights on and i give her a while to open her eyes and wake up, during that time I make her breakfast and blow a whistle to let her know it's there but half the time i panic if her eyes are infected so i clean her eyes and she wakes up and eats straight away. The eye drops are awful, they're no good! Is she infected or am i just forcing ger awake???

Post the clearest pic you can of her eyes. Generally rt babies don't have gummy watery sticky eyes at all unless there is something wrong. Soak her daily in warm water for at least 20 minutes. Also check your temperatures at numerous points throughout the day. You might be having too many temp fluctuations.

If you are using coil bulbs, that could be the eye problem. Get rid of it. If your not, best would be to give every detail you can think of, substrate, temps high, low, etc.
