Thank You.

What about digital kitchen scales?
Asda do one for £10, but that's just from looking on the web.

I'm looking into scales too so this is handy I assumed digital scales would be fine so long as they measured in small enough increments (eg, 10g).

A related question: how do you get the rabbit to stay on the scales long enough to read the weight....??!!

I put Snowdrop in a saucepan! Completly innapropriate I know but it does the job for weighing her. Would give the neighbours a fright though if they looked through the window and saw me with a live rabbit in a pot!

I'll give that a go and if anyone spots me I'll say some woman on a rabbit forum recommended the recipe...

:lol: at the rabbit in the pot!

I'm looking for something too, as I weigh my piggies in a cardboard box precariously balanced on my kitchen scales. Wow those baby ones are quite expensive though. :shock:

I put my buns in a lasagne dish with a tiny bit of basil or similar to keep them occupied while I read their weight.

As Snowberry mentioned, it can upset people who don't know what you're doing!

I got digital baby scales from ebay too - I kept bidding until I won them at a good price; I think they were just over £20 in the end.

Jane, how much does yours weigh up to? Argos do one that weights up to 3kg but was thinking about Captain Carrot....
