UV question

They are both very great ideas .
I've never thought to use a fish scale, but it sounds much easier than stepping on the scale with a pissed off monitor (even if he is in a box).
I'll have to look around for a fish scale (I think my dad may have one) and get back to you all on his weight.
I couldn't even guess at a weight as I havn't picked him up since he escaped at 6 months old.

Hi, I`m going to guess he weighs around 2kilos or so (4lbs +)?
If I`m completely wrong please forget this post...

I too use fishing scales for weighing them (seriously).

I think as long as you don't admit it in public you're good. Secret's safe with me.

I can't take credit for the fish scale idea, that was passed on to me by Sam Sweet, although who knows where that grumpy old guy got it!

The gerbils are pretty close to full sized (sometimes I substitute four mice if my supply's running low).

I agree he's not overweight, but when I look at Wayne's photos their stomach's appear much more toned and muscled then my guy's- just wondering if that means something, or if he's just starting to fill out...

Ab machine and sit up?
