One grape is fine. Never raisins. They cannot eat dried fruit. Some say grapes are unhealthy but I feed them to mine.
You can feed them raisins and grapes but only in moderation. They are very high in sugar and can lead to digestive issues in the short run. Ours like grapes but only give the one maybe a couple of times a week, never tried them with raisins.
Edit: just spotted that you shouldn't feed them dried fruit, I knew there was a reason I haven't fed them these!

thanks for that, I suddenly remembered reading somewhere that you shouldn't which probably is the reason we have never fed them raisins. Due to teeth or digestive reasons perhaps?

I didn't think raisins were suitable but I wasn't sure about grape, I just gave mine half a grape each an they loved it

They are high in sugar which means they are like junk food. Also due to the drying process you cannot be sure of the effect on piggies. All their food has to be natural and untouched.

Mine love grapes too. Poor sophie struggles to bite into one sometimes.
