They might never be as big as they could have been, but they are young, so they have a lot of time to grow. I have chihuahuas. One of my pet peeves is the way people restrict food to make them small. My male is over 7lbs. All but one female is just about 6lbs because they have some fat on them. One female is really fat, but only about 3 or 4lbs. She is very, very small, just fat. I see people restrict small dog's food all the time to try to make them smaller or keep them smaller. I just don't like it. I think it's cruel. I don't like feeling ribs on dogs. Do your best.

Are you the caretaker? Well, they are 8 weeks and should have been started on a quality kibble mushed for 4 weeks now. They are cabable of eating it dry by now. Start feeding them. Great Danes don't stop groing until they are around 3 or so years old. Get a move on! Why haven’t they been weel fed? Are you the caretaker?

Make sure the new homes know how to feed the pups, high quality food with supplements will be essential for them to reach their full potential you have time to salvage them, feed them well, check out the site of the greatdane lady, she has great information about all things dane related, I have used some of her stuff for my dobes.
