Dr. Tom Kawaskai has encountered what he thinks could be three cases of this, so it is best to be careful. The number of raisins and grapes was quite high in those ferrets but since there are always variations among individuals it would be a lot better to err on the safe side. Even though we've given very few we decided that I'll eat up the raisins instead of them since those are healthy for me and there are healthier treats for them.
