    How Often Do You Weigh Your BP?

    Like the title says. How often do you weigh them. Once a month, every other month? I was thinking once a month and record the weight so you can see how it grows. How do you guys do it?

    I weigh them almost every time I clean. I only record it if there is a significant change in weight from the last time I wrote it down so maybe five times a year.

    After they poop would be a good way to do it. Get their true weight.

    That, and after you make it routine it reminds to weigh them while cleaning out the tub.

    I weigh mine about once a month...tends to even out the empty vs. full weight difference.
