So we have all been doing good up until the last three days my little guy has very runny stool.
All eating fox valley and have introduced apples and carrots over the past week. My other two are fine handling everything well. What do I do? I cut back on his formula, started to give him less at each feeding but no change.

You could put a small amout of regular yogurt in the FV. This tends to help with tummy trouble. How old are they now? How often are you feeding FV? How much? Sorry for all the questions:) but as they get older the feedings can be spaced out further sometimes feeding too often can cause runny stool. I am sure some of the experts will come on soon as well to help out.

They are 7 weeks and eating 8cc every 6 to 7 hours with no night feeding.

If the runny poop started after you introduced apples and carrots, I'd stop the apples and carrots.

Carrots are not all that great for them, not bad, but not great, and they should only have a piece or two of fruit a day at the very max, after they eat their healthy veggies.

EDIT: piece = approx. the size of a grape

Just throwing this out there. Apples have alot of natural fiber in them and often apples and apple juice is given when there is constipation. Maybe the little guy had his apples along with his sibling's share. :D

How should I give my guy the yogurt? And should I only give it to him or allow them all to have some.

Also, you can share the yogurt. Many squirrels love it and it helps maintain good digestion.
