Raisins are dried grapes, and
guinea pigs can eat grapes. This doesn't mean that you can feed us raisins exactly the same way as you would grapes, however. The
drying process compresses the sugar that was originally in the grapes into a much smaller space, so that raisins are
about 72% sugar by weight. While fresh grapes can be fed
2-4 times per week in 25 gram portions, you'll want to feed us raisins
only 1-2 times per month, and
only 1-2 raisins at a time. You'll also want to check to make sure there are no added sugars or preservatives before feeding us raisins. Organic raisins are probably your best bet.

Raisins are sweet and delicious! It's a shame that they have to be such a rare treat due to the sugar content. (Humans, is this how you feel about donuts and cupcakes?) We'll give raisins 5/5 stars!
Our human isn't a big fan of raisins, so we don't purchase them, but now we do!
