I too agree with this. It's the best way to keep up with
weight losses and gains. I weigh all of mine on a regular
basis. I use a scale which weighs in ounces or grams and goes
to 2kg (4.4 lbs). It also compensates for tare weights. I
primarily got it to use for wildlife babies but made sure I
got one that would weigh my ferrets also (so far don't have
any over 4 lbs.). I use the gram weights as they're more
precise, in my opinion. It weighs in 2g increments which is
sufficient for my needs. My scale was purchased from a
kitchen supply store and was only around $40. I have more
than gotten my money's worth out of it. When my vet weighs
them, I can see how close my scale it so theirs.
