Hi,

I'm looking for a set of scales for weighing my piggies and was wondering what would be best. I've been using my kitchen scales but the boys are pretty big now and it's tricky getting them to sit on the scale as they're so long! lol I've looked at other kitchen scales but none of them seem to be much bigger than mine.

I started looking at pet scales on and am thinking about this model
https://www.amazon.com/W-C-Redmon-Precision-Digital-Scale/dp/B00583EGVI/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top

Only thing is, it measures in 1/2 oz or 0.01kg (10g) increments. Is that accurate enough? Or is there another scale I should be looking at?

Thanks!

This is what I do with my kitchen scale. Just make sure it's not too wide a container that you can't read the scale ;) Narrower and taller works so they can't make a break for it!
