This early in the season, if your meat source has a high amount of fat, often times the dogs will refuse it. When in the early part of the season, like now, of during warmer parts of winter, it is important to not feed as much fat as you would when the temps are below 0. Just look at this past years' Iditarod. Many of the frontrunners were not using much fat at all, opting for lean meats. With the temperatures warmer, the dogs regulate themselves with regards to fat, or fatty scraps. Try using a leaner meat source if possible. I had this same problem back in early September. The dogs went off their feed, but when I switched to a leaner ground beef, immediateely they began eating again.
