    A good scale?

    Now that my ball has gone off feed, I am interested in purchasing a scale to monitor her weight during this time. Before I go out and spontaneously buy any general scale, is there a brand/type that anyone may recommend? I tried flat scales, but she doesn't stay still long enough to get an accurate reading Any info would be appreciated, thanks.

    Put a bowl or tub on the scale before turning it on, or use the tare button if it has one. That will account for the weight of the bowl and it is easier to keep them in something with sides than balance on the platter. That would be a feat.

    As for what kind, I sent my wife to target and she brought back this one and it works perfect. 5 lb capacity and weighs in grams. And the lcd part pulls forward so you can read it from under a bowl.

    I'm interested as well. If no one replies and you buy one let me know how you like it.
