Constipation on raw diet

I started my two kits, miso (1 year) and sumi (5 months), on a raw diet ten days ago. I have researched feline nutrition a fair bit, and for the moment am feeding them raw muscle meat with some liver and Instincts pre-mix powder. All is going fine, except sumi has now not pooped since saturday (it's now tuesday morning). miso only pooped last night for the first time since saturday. I know they eliminate less on a raw diet, but is this not now a constipation situation for sumi? On the commercial organic grain-free food she was on before, she pooped twice or 3 times daily. Last night I resorted to Applaws wet food, chicken with pumpkin and I put some cod liver oil in with it, which had favourable results for miso, but still nothing for sumi. Any advice?
