How often should i weight bradders he is a fat piggy bless him but how often do i weight him, and what should i use as i dont own any weighting scales?
 
I use electronic scales and a stainless steel bowl. I put the bowl on the scales and then put pig in and weigh weekly.

Currently weighing Ellie and Glynis every 2/3 days as soft girl here can't wait to see if they are pregnant! :(|) Have a little patience as Gary Barlow said! rolleyes
 
I have an electronic postal scale and put a plastic bowl on top and use that.

I personally weigh all every 3 - 4 days, sometimes more (because I am obsessive like that, lol). Weekly is usually fine.
 
Many pharmacies have their own weighing scales. It could be a weekly trip out for him.

Hey when I was in Pets at Home last night I noticed they have some scales there for people to weigh their dogs. I am now imagining the reaction I would get if I went down with all my piggies. :))

That would be hilarious - i dare you Debbie :(|):(|)
 
Thank you for making me laugh! I can just see them queuing up and waiting in line...

I use my kitchen scales with an old cracked plastic bowl and weigh about every two weeks with the teenagers and monthly with adults, unless I can feel a change in weight when I pick them up.

Dizzy I have been weighing nearly daily lately, as I'm worried about her and the stress of merging the two groups.

Somehow I can't see mine standing in a nice orderly line :)) Poppet would be shoving them all out the way so she could get to the scales first! :(|)
