How to weigh?

[TaylorTortoise]

Hello,
What is the best thing to use to weigh tortoises?
What is a healthy weight for a young adult russian tortoise? What is abnormal?
What is healthy for a well-started western hermann hatchling? what is low?

Going to get a scale to monitor my hatchlings growth to make sure I am doing everything correctly.

I use a kitchen scale to weigh my baby once a week. Not sure about normal weight range for an adult Russian tort though.. I believe they all grow at different rates.

This is what I used for years. It is very accurate and weighs in grams or pounds and ounces whichever you choose.
