How do i weigh the babys? What am i supposed to use? Is it really so importaint, or nessassary? I dont want to do something that might hurt them, but i have no idea what to use to weigh them, they dont register on my scale, anything under 5 lbs wont register, so what can i use?
Thanks

A food scale at wal-mart here is 7.00 those work great.

I use a postal scale, with a one a small plastic container to put the babies in so they don't roll off.

I believe it IS important, if you can do it. I wouldn't have recognized anything was wrong with Echo until he was already dead, and I noticed one of the kittens earlier had dropped a bit of weight during the night, so I promptly scheduled a Vet appt (vet didn't find anything wrong, though). I don't know where I'd be without that scale.

That is true a sign of weight loss is a vet trip or extra help.
