I Have two wonderful bengal boys, Rufus and Hugo. But on and off they seem to get runny poos.
What would anybody recommend to use for kittens with sensitive tummys?

First thing is to make sure there aren't any medical reasons for the runny bums - there are some organisms that can cause it which they can be tested for (if you do a search in the health forum you'll find some [lots!!] of threads on runny bums).

How old are the boys and what are they currently being fed on? Usually it's recommended to keep them on whatever the breeder has had them on and then wean them onto something new slowly if you want to. Quite a few of us have also had success with introducing some raw food into the diet - there are companies who sell it ready prepared for pets. But, the first thing is to rule out anything medical.

Welcome to the forum by the way :lol:

Hi There!
They are 8 months old. I currently feed them on Applaws chicken flavoured kitten biscuits and a combination of royal canin instinctive, simply chicken pouches and some applaws canned food.
Is there too much variety?
My breeder used to feed hills biscuits and raw rabbit.

Have you recently got them or have you had them a while? If it's recent, then it may be that the change has happened too quickly, in which case going back to the breeder's feeding regime might help, especially as they were used to some raw. If you did it a while ago, then maybe try withdrawing some of the different foods and see if you can identify the one that is causing the problem. Make sure that the foods you leave in their diet are sufficient to cover all their nutritional needs (eg Applaws wet food isn't classed as "complete" on its own).

My feeding regime is 50:50 Bozita wet food (from Zooplus or Seapets) and prepared raw food (from North West Discount Pet foods or food4-cats), with Orijen dry food (also from Zooplus) all the time. It worked for Dolly who had a runny tum when I first got her, but different cats respond differently so there's no guarantee that a similar routine would work for yours.

I've had the boys from 13 weeks and they have been soft on and off. Both are growing well though, 10lbs and 12 lbs respectively and seem very healthy. Do you think I should keep them on purely chicken pouches and applaws kitten biscuits for a couple of weeks and see if they calm down?

I would recommend cutting out some of the different foods so that you can try and narrow down the cause of the loose poo, if it's one of the foods that is causing it. Chicken is generally regarded as reasonably bland so sticking with the chicken pouches seems a good idea. The Applaws dry food should be decent quality, although it's relatively new so I don't know how well Bengals tolerate it.

Try it for a couple of weeks and see how they get on.
