Ive noticed just lately when my ferts have a organ meal (heart, liver, kidney) their poops are quite runny/mucusy...
Is this considered "normal" ?

Yes, which is one of the reasons why I usually feed a bone in meal before and after.

This was something that I was going to ask. My Nibbles and Little Bear have taken to meat well but their poop started to become runny and I was getting worried.

How much bone are you feeding? Runny stools often point to a poor dietary balance

Following the frankenprey menu they have 3 meals of mince with 15% bone in and other 6 are a mix of wing tips and necks. 2 meals of muscle meat and 1 of heart. 1 meal of heart liver and kidney. 1 meal of liver and kidney.
Bone and muscle meals (apart from heart) the boys will easily eat 4+oz each. Organs they will eat but not as much. There's always a couple of oz left.

I would suggest if you're feeding grinds that you either start feeding them some whole bone in meats or start teaching them that they've got to have their teeth brushed

Ok, other than necks and wings what other bones can they have?
I dont always have access to whole prey at the moment.
Im trawling through local butchers etc to get a complete list of whats available bone meal wise.
I do have a constant supply of egg shells that can be ground down and used in replacement etc

Go to the diet board, raw feeding, meat bone organ weekly menu plan.
That will give you a wide variety of bones they can eat
