Kiwiflier

Thanks only have had him since Saturday, and are nervous parents :) . I have been in contact with Great Dane rescue and done lots of reading, googling. After posting last night went up to the supermarket and 10pm was making Satin Balls, he ate three of them then, and just back from the morning walk and he is about to have them for breakfast. thanks for the messages of support and hope in a week or two the big fella is settled in and enjoying his new home.

Hello, My wife and I have rehomed an older Great Dane, we have only had him a short time, We have been feeding him all sorts from BBQ Chickens, Sardines, Beef Mince, Steak, Brisket bones. at first he ate next to nothing for the first two days. we originally planned for his normal kibble and mince diet he was supposedly on. The kibble even the same brand he apparently was given he does not eat. We are feeding him twice a day he is 62.5 kilos and the vet would like to see him around 65 kilos. We are trying get him to eat around the 1.5 - 2 Kgs a day of raw diet. Today he would of eaten around 1.5 kilos in two meals and 3 small brisket bones. This weekend I will move on to giving satin balls a try, he will be missing his kennel mates, we have been home all week with him to try and adjust him as best we can. Can you provide any advice on how best we can adjust him and any ideas on getting his weight up we really want him to settle in and want the best for him.
