Yeah, definitely. Especially if they are still mostly just licking it up and not getting a whole lot of substance. Try adding more eggshell powder (just an extra 1/4 or 1/2 tsp or so per 2 oz - don't want to dry them out) and that should help firm them up a bit more.  It is definitely normal though and will get better once they're eating something chunkier and eventually with bone. |

Organs make for runny poop and so can egg. Like alyse said, add a little extra eggshell. You'll get a feel for how much eggshell, each ferret does best with. |

Do be careful at that level of egg shell though, you could send it the other way. Remember that egg shell is 1/2 tsp per 8 oz, so go slowly when adding more.
One other thing you can try but it's only a temp. fix to get things going in the right direction is 1 tsp of pumpkin. This is to be used only if you cannot seem to get their stools to firm up despite the egg shell addition. What recipe are you using and are kibbles still being fed?
