How do you get them to like a lot of this?? Yogurt? Fruits? Vegetables? So far, little Dublin will barely even sniff it. (Of course I have to remember we just got him three days ago and he's only 8 weeks. Will it come naturally?
Too soon to switch.
Give him more time to adjust to his new environment.
Continue to feed the old food.
Also - I would tend to agree with Alyssa. The newness of the environment is stressful enough - don't add to this stress by switching up diet so soon. Let him sittle in for a couple weeks and then begin to move him off.

Right now I am givng him raw beef and lamb bones. I lightly browned some ground beef the other day and he liked that and is loving the bones, but is that enough food for him? it's hard to know if I'm feeding him enough using this diet. Also, his sttol is very irratic; sometimes it's loose and I see red in it (but I'm hoping that is simply the meat) and sometimes it looks normal.

Best to post exactly what you're feeding and in what proportions.
That is, which lamb bones? Do you mean lamb bones that the dog can actually eat and digest, rather than recreational bones? In what proportion to the muscle meat?
Or is this in addition to THK (rather than the main diet)?

The lamb bones I got from my butcher. They have meat on them and most of the bones look like the ball from a ball and joint connection. So, I would say he is not eat the bone part, just gnawing on it. Since I am getting these from the butcher, there is not a lot of meast on them but some. THK?

THK is The Honest Kitchen - Embark.
IF you are trying to switch him now, then you need to be aware that he needs to be eating bones, not just gnawing on them (but that is good too).
He will be eating things like bone-in-breast, chicken backs, chicken necks, rabbit quarters, and other softer bones he can chew on and eat. He NEEDS the calcium in them and it cannot be gotten through ground beef. Besides, he will love chewing on them!
