Well, his poops this evenings were the hardest and driest they've been yet. I know it because due to a thaw miscalculation on my part, he had a leg, and some necks for dinner last night, but I thought it would just even things out!
I think I might need to up his intake of food. He hasn't gained any weight at all in almost 2 weeks, which is very uncharacteristic, and he is thin (in nice shape). Lately he was gaining about 2lbs per week, sometimes a bit less.
This makes me think back when I first started raw. I went from those premade patties to doing my own meals, self made.
One day I made a terrible error and gave too much bone and not enough MM. Hours later on our potty run, she started to do her business and I was dumbfounded when what looked like dry crumbles resembling clumps of sand coming out of her behind!
It would have been priceless to have caught my face on camera!
Needless to say, I learned a lot from that, and figured out how to gauge it all better.
I would gladly take a bit dry than the watery runs any day.
Just be very careful when you add organ meats.
Poops are back to normal, except for a random dollup of pudding, which might have been from some cheese he snagged
I actually have been adding some beef liver (small amounts, a square inch at a time, photos first, then lectures, then pep talks, then in song) without any trouble, and the chicken backs have a bit of kidney too.
Is there any reason I should be chopping up the legs, if he crunches and digests them fine? I have read that a fair amount of people do, but he chews them up pretty good.

Glad to hear that the organ meats are going well, along with all of his diet.
If he has no problem crunching up the leg bones, I don't see any reason to chop them up. Sometimes if the leg meat is really thick, I will cut off some of the meat but they eat the whole leg bone as one, really well. It is the turkey necks that I have to cut up sometimes. Those Tom necks can get really huge.
