Thanks for reaching out about Nibbles. It would be a concern that the sugar in the grapes could cause an intestinal problem. If Nibbles is acting lethargic or painful, decreased appetite or sick in any other manner, he should be seem by a veterinarian. Antibiotics or other medications might be in order. Good luck.
