Blackberries are not toxic, actually they contain a lot of antioxidants and are quite healthy for both us and our pets! I see that Galaxy Minstrels contain milk chocolate. Since I don't know Ziggy's exact weight, I guessed that he weighed 30 pounds (about 15kg). Since I don't know the exact weight of 2 candies, I guessed that he ate about 1oz (about 28g). If this sounds accurate, then Ziggy should be just fine! If the actual numbers are quite different than what I guessed, post a new question with more accurate information and we can tell you if you need to be worried. Please note that even if it isn't toxic, chocolate contains sugar which can cause hyperactivity, nausea, and diarrhea, and I would not recommend giving Ziggy any more!
