How to weigh a rabbit without scales

Hi I am going to worm my rabbits and I need to know how much they weigh. I don't have scales hahaha
My mum said I can't buy any until her next pay day because I just spent $200 at the vet.
Is it possible to weigh them without scales? My friend said she weighs horses without scales and I was wondering if this would work for rabbits as well.

Thanks

Horses are a lot bigger so being 50 lbs off when worming them isnt a big deal. Go to a vet clinic and ask to borrow a scale. Vets shouldnt charge to weigh your animals. Otherwise kitchen scales can be purchased for 5-10dollars. Yes it is important to get an accurate weight for rabbits and any medication

True.
I've had my kits weighed today. The vets I go to charge $60-$80 for a consultation
I think I'll just wait to buy some

All you need is a digital postal scale and just put a shoebox on top to weigh them in. Ours does both kg and lbs and only cost about $30

Do you have human scales? If so, weigh yourself first, then weigh yourself while holding your bunny. Do this at least 3 times for accuracy.

A human scale is no where near accurate enough for a small rabbit especially when it comes to needing that weight to dose medications. Maybe if you had a 30lb Flemish or something..... Doesn't matter how many times you get on and off that scale.
Vets should not be charging to get a weight on your animal. But if you were just at a vets, they should have weighed the rabbit then. If they didn't might be time to find a vet that's capable of preforming a proper exam. You shouldn't even need to go to your own vet to ask to borrow a scale. Just phone around and ask if any of them will allow you to borrow a scale to weigh your bunny at no charge. Youre not asking for an exam. Youre not asking to see the vet. Just get a weight. If it comes down to it, phone the local post office and ask if you can borrow one of their scales closer to closing time. Or a hardware store (some sell nuts/bolts in bulk by weight.....)

Sorry. I have an 11 lb English lop. I check his weight this way between vet visits. I also take him to the vets office for nail trims monthly. They weigh him upon request at no extra charge. Just a thought. Guess if you have a two lb bun this wouldn't work.

Could you please tell me which brand for the kitchen scales are better?

Any brand honestly... ideally for animals under 2lbs having it weigh in 5g or less incraments would be nice. Mine does it in 2g incraments.

Thanks for admin information.

Could you use a shoe box on a human scale to weigh mini lops as I don’t have an animal scale
