Anyone got any recommendations for digital scales to weigh the pigs with, my kitchen ones are doing my head in! Preferably one with a bowl so they don't hop out! Thanks :))
 
Mine are Salter scales. They are just small and flat, I have my own plastic bowl that I put on top, then switch them on, so the come on at zero. Any bowl will do to prevent escapees. (They still try though, lol x)
 
Any cheap flat digital scale that measures in grams (max range up to 3Kg but needs to be accurate to 1g) and has a Tare faciity.

Mine was £5.99 from Tesco a year ago. Have bought one for £4.99 and one for £9.99 recently for friends

Use your own cardboard or plastic container, put it on scales, press tare so it zero's, then put piggy in and hey presto....= weight.

i also use flat salter digital scales with my own bowl or sometimes i just scoop the monkeys up in their pigloos and pop them on!
