The digital ones are quite accurate and easy to read, and a small blob of Nutri-Cal or peanut butter on the platform will keep the ferret in place long enough to get the job done. Personally, though, I think your fish scale system sounds great! >Also, I know a ferrets weight can change pretty rapidly, how often would >you weight them to get a good number. Every day? Every other day? I weigh healthy ferrets once a week when I do their toenails. Ferrets who are ill (or are suspected of being ill) are weighed daily, at about the same time every day. Hope this helps, ellen -- mailto:[log in to unmask] [Posted in FML issue 3909]
