Hey everyone!
Just curious, how do you weigh your chinchillas? I have come up with a daily ritual of dusting (since I live in an area of relative humidity and all my chins love to dust/have no dry skin issues) and then weighing on a regular flat circular food scale. I have found that dusting them before somewhat disorients them and allows them to stay still for the few seconds that are needed to weigh!
I wrote a little piece about how I weigh my chins
http://lychinchillas.com/2015/01/21/how-to-weigh-your-chinchilla/ - maybe it is of use to someone! I mean, there's definitely no huge secret to weighing, it's mostly about patience and practice. Some owners choose to buy curved platform scales, that help the chins be more confined and consider it easier to weigh. It probably is, but I've never used one!
