Here is how I weigh my kids. I have a digital food scale. I can put a small basket with blankie on it and *zero* it, which means that the basket will not be added to the ferrets weight. Pick up SLEEPING ferret, place in basket. By the time he/she wakes up, you have a reading of their weight. Slick, huh?? Mine reads in grams or pounds, I see them in kitchen/cooking ware isles everywhere. I'm sure a Google search will turn up several sources.
