Scale

[Offspring2099]

Hello,

I want to buy a small animal scale for our bun Penny. Anyone have any idea of which one and where to buy, without giving up an arm and a leg.

Thank you.

I'll get you the thread that mentions some scales...

I got several great baby scales at garage sales (tag sales?). I keep my eye open for them all the time, 'cause someone in my rabbit circle is always looking for a scale.

Just got a really nice one for a friend with a wicker basket on top for $9.00 at a Good Will Thrift shop. Salvation Army sometimes gets them too... (Just check them that they "zero out", for accuracy.)

You just need to attach a small plastic basket to the top.

I got a really nice electronic one from Home Depot on line. I think I paid about $20.00 for it.

I got an analog kitchen scale from Wal-Mart for ~$7. I think it only goes up to 7lbs, so not good for BIG bunnies.

Great! There is a walmart next to my job. Penny is under 7lbs, this might be the one. Thank you.

I got one at Target for 25 and I love it. Its small but it has a tare option so you put a basket on it, hit tare and then put the bunny in the basket:

Bed Bath & Beyond also has a really nice baby scale for $60 but it would only be$48 if you had one of their coupons for 20% off:

I have one of these baby scales:

And I got it for a bargain of around £20 on ebay (it even plays music, lol!) but it works great, because it's flat on the ground. I just lay a blanket over, put a small pile of pellets on, tare it and let a bunner loose - they usually hop straight on and stuff their face whilst I note down the weight.
