Can guinea pigs eat grapes?
RSPCA Australia advises against grapes as a precaution, because it’s unclear whether they harm guinea pigs as they do dogs. The Royal Veterinary College allows them as a treat, so we decide cautiously.
Good to know: Raisins and other dried fruit don’t belong in the bowl (RSPCA Australia, Woodgreen).

Questions
Can rabbits eat grapes?
Yes, but only a little. PDSA says grapes are safe for rabbits in small amounts. Like any fruit, only as an occasional treat (RWAF), a small piece (PDSA).
