What do they look like? Are they green and loose? Seedy? Just runny?
She's probably detoxing, that causes for weird poops. Or is she still on kibble 24/7?
Don't mix kibble with raw, will cause tummy upset and possible bacterial overgrowth, they digest at different speeds.

Finally LouLou ate without a spoon, I put the bowl down and just gently held her in front of it, she sniffed a round tried to leave but I just held her there, once she started eating I let her go and she continued! Yippie! Later I saw her go back to bowl and eat a little more without me holding her.

We've moved into ground meat and bone that I add a touch of warm water too. LouLou walked right up to the bowl this morning and was the first to eat. So happy for my little girl.

8 oz chicken thigh 1/2 chicken liver (or 1 oz) 2 chicken hearts 0.5 ounces kidney 0.5 ounces liver 1/2 teaspoon eggshell powder @poncesmom, Heather, is that recipe okay? I'm not poncesmom or Heather, but can I answer anyway? This recipe has too much organ in it. For 8 oz of chicken, you need 1 oz TOTAL organ and 1 oz heart. We generally start with liver because it's easy to find, but you can mix your organs if you want to. If you're going to mix organs, you need AT LEAST half liver, then finish out with the other organ. Just make sure you have a TOTAL of 1 oz organ. Sorry, I missed this. Thanks, gfountain. lefertmama, Gina is a great teacher and fantastic Mentor.

All your babies are adorable. That's a great signature. Good little LuLu. We always have one who gets us all excited and then one will be stubborn and worry us. (giggle) How are the poops doing? You can expect funky poops for awhile. Just keep an eye out on them. If they seem to loose, it may be due to an organ meal or just a new protein. You can up the eggshell powder a little, if need be.
There is a poop chart, if you haven't seen it and can't find it, just ask and I'll post it.

Yes I refer to the poop chart often. All their poops are looking good now, the kibble is still in the cage, only a couple of Tablespoons worth, as I know Lou isn't eating as much raw as I would like, the boys completely ignore the kibble now. Lou makes me smile the last 2 days I come into the playarea with the bowl of food and she's been the first to dig in. I finally got a kitchen scale, weighing in 3 oz of raw per meal at this point and weighed the kids, Lou is the smallest at 30oz, Cyrano 35 Oz and Jagger is 43 oz, my big boy

So the kids have been eating ground chicken and bone with slivers of heart and organ in with the chicken, what would be our next step, Lou now is having no problems with the raw, Cyrano gets so excited at feeding time he comes running over bouncing with happiness and a bottle brush tail lol. Jagger is calm and demeanor about it all, as is his way lol.
