I have offered my guys sliced grapes once in a while for years without any bad effects.

Mind you, I said once in a while. I wouldn't offer too many or too often, as it might cause upset tummies.

lovezebs They only eat U.F.O.s (Unidentified food objects) every once in a while, so that should be easy.

Grapes are high in sugars and water. Little nutrients. Feed sparingly too much sugars can cause yeast. More nutrients in dark veggies like kale, broccoli, finely grated carrots and sprouted/ chitted seed/ millet strands.
