Scale to weigh tortoise hatchlings

[yarok]

I want to buy a Scale to weigh my tortoise hatchling so I can measure his growth rate. Anybody know where to buy a sensitive scale that measures grams or something?

I got my scale from Walmart in the kitchen section.

when you are buying a digital scale make sure you look for the total capacity and the increments. i have a small 300grm scale but it is sensative all the way to the 100th place so like 0.00 where as most scales go 0.0 to the tenth. the ones at walmart that measure grams usually go up to 500-1000grm but the sensitivity goes down as your total capacity goes up usually. the ones from walmart can be nice if they have a med-large bowl that can be tare-weight removed to hold your tort if it's a squirmer

I always use the bowl trick.

I got a food grade scale from Target and I have been very happy with it...
