weighting

How does everyone weigh their live rabbits? I want to track weight by week and when they are small I can use my kitchen scale byt after that what is everyone using?

I hang a bucket from the hook and put the rabbit in that.

I use a regular scale for people. I weigh myself, then weigh myself + the rabbit, subtract and you get the weight of the rabbit. I only have 3 rabbits, so it works for me.

I have an old pediatric scale I use for rabbits and eBay. One of the ones with the slide weights. It's very sensitive, and I love it!

I bought a digital kitchen scale from Walmart that weights up to 10lb. Standard for my breed is 4-6lb so if I go over 10, then, Houston we have a problem.. The scale has a Tare function, so I put a plastic shoebox on the scale, reset to 0, put in the rabbit and voila.. Keeping the grown rabbits still for a second in order to get a good reading can take a few trys, but it works well for me.

is there a minimum weight requirement on this one?

Under 'Features' it says...
110-pound capacity; accurate to within one ounce, with 100-gram minimum weight; displays weight in pounds, kilograms, and ounces

100 grams is about 3.5 ounces.

If I were weighing individual tiny kits I'd use my kitchen scale. I generally don't start weighing them until they're out of the nest. At first I just put them all in the bucket at once for a few weeks, then I start doing individual weights.

I also use one of them to weigh my horse's hay ration. The only problem I've had is that they don't work well in the cold, but that's easily remedied by bringing it inside overnight.

Excellent. I already have one of those for weighing my cat, and it's nice to know I won't have to buy a new scale for bunnies. Thanks!
