    Scale?

    I see just about everyone weighs their BP's. What do you use? Where do you get one?

    Re: Scale?

    I picked up a digital kitchen scale at WalMart the other day. It was under $30. Haven't tried to use it yet, though, as my bp is just now settling into her new home.

    Re: Scale?

    I picked up a pretty good one on Ebay. It all depends how high you need it to go and the increment. You want something that is by the gram (not 5 or 10) and if you are going to breed, one that gets to at least 3000 gms. Hope this helps..

    Re: Scale?

    I got mine off of Amazon for I think $30. It works great and can go up to 10 pounds.

    Re: Scale?

    I picked up the 7001 DX from LLL, it weighs up to 7000 grams...so I know I have plenty of range there that I can use.

    We're probably using the same one then! Mine is also a digital kitchen scale from WalMart.

    Re: Scale?

    This is the scale we are thinking of buying. It goes up to 7,000 grams (15 lbs) in 1 gram increments and you can order the optional AC adapter. I've always heard excellent reports on this company so this is our first choice (they do sell a huge range of scales)
