In my experience, grapes give rodents pretty bad diarrhea.

If you want to feed them, stick to nuts and seeds.

Everywhere I search it says that it's good to give them some greens alongside nuts, how come?

"Greens" normally means things like leafy vegetables. Things like fruits have a lot of sugar, which combined with the high liquid content, has meant very dirty rat, degu, and chinchilla cages.

I'll take all that into account for next time, thank you!
