what should I be feeding them to firm them up?

all four girls have had the same basic diet, but the two youngest are the only ones with the soft mushy poops

they've had kale two days in a row, then a half of a Brussels sprout, and they were fine, so I am guessing it was the broccoli they had yesterday? The PEWS ate more of it than anyone else did

I gave everyone rice infant cereal with rice milk. I thought rice was supposed to be binding?

is there anything else I should do?

Whenever mine get soft stools, I give them unsalted soda crackers. Works everything.

Yes! I was advised to try this ages ago when my old rats came down with the soft n' stinkies and I've never forgotten how well it worked. It took like, one cracker and things were back to normal. Very impressive.

It would be worth going out and getting some just because it works so well.
