Grapes

[Ben and Jerry]

I saw a video of some piggies eating grapes. I'd not thought about giving mine grapes but I tried them with a couple and they were overjoyed with them but kept coming back for more which I wouldn't give them til I'd asked on here how many is safe to give them. I'm always trying new things but like to check first. Thanks in advance, Jo

I'm not sure the actual "correct amount" but i have never really given more than 2 each to my piggies...sometimes i cut them in half so they seem like they "get more" hehe.. To be honest only feed fruit maybe once a week... But i'm sure someone more experienced may have a more accurate answer.

Think mine nibbled at grapes but weren't overally impressed. Like what Jennifer said only a couple and as treat, I think too many grapes either gives runny poop or constipation. Don't particularly want to remember which one not a pleasant thought....

I only give mine grapes on rare occasions, then no more than one each.

I give about one each (halved and seedless) very occasionally as a special treat. Too much fruit can cause cheilitis and thrush in the mouth.

Mine again like the others said get one occasionally as a treat, I only buy seedless and its a rare treat

I used to give pigs half a grape every now and then, till the news came out that grapes and raisins cause kidney failure in cats and dogs. Rodents haven't been studied yet in that regard, so I stopped until further notice.
