This amazon review made me LOL

[beefcheeks]

Ok, this isn't the worlds funniest or anything, but it did make me chuckle. I'm looking at food scales...this is the review...

"I use this scale to weigh my chinchillas and it works great. The only problem that I have had is the top (not the pan) falls off and I have to snap it back on almost every time I use it. But for the price, I really can't complain. I bought it to weigh my chinchillas but I use it for mail and other things also. Very versatile."

Like, what?  Chinchillas?  lol

It might even weigh food. maybe.

A friend had a pet chinchilla, he was cute. I don't think he got weighed frequently though. That's kinda odd.

I'm sure chinchillas are a food staple somewhere in the world.

I have a Chinchilla rant I usually go off on when someone mentions them but I will save you guys that. LOL and reviewing a food scale for how well it weighs your giant rodent.

How often do you need to weigh a chinchilla that you'd have a special scale?

I actually googled, "how often should I weight my chincilla" and really no information came up.  So, I'm guessing you don't really have to.  But it's always nice to have the equipment, should the need arise.

I would think a food scale would be more optimal for your chinchilla-weighing needs, though, versus a regular scale - you can keep them contained in that little pan/tray thingie at the top of the food scale, whereas if you just set them atop your regular bathroom scale, who knows what kind of scurrying would ensue.

No woman wants to be weighed, even a chinchilla.

I think I need to see your rant.

Might be a breeder, weighing the offspring.

This is good to know. I often sell chinchillas by the pound, and have been looking for an accurate scale. Thumbs up to this review.

We actually bought a food scale for a similar reason.

We were fostering 2 kittens who were small for their age and needed to gain weight before they could be fixed at 2lbs or more. So we used the food scale. They cam to us at about 8oz, so a normal scale wouldn't work.

H had been wanting one. The kittens were the excuse he used to get it. We just put them in a mixing bowl, 0'ed it out, and put them in it so they couldn't run away. Worked great!

You're supposed to weigh them often because they're really good at hiding illnesses due to their fur. Loss of weight, even by a few grams, is the first sign that there's something wrong. We bought our small scale when we had chins for this reason.

Haha, there is really nothing that special about the rant.  I just hate chinchilla.  My roommate had one in college and they are the dirtiest little things.  They clean themselves by rolling in dust, they poop every where (she would let the thing just run around the apt and I would find little pellets every where---even when it was in it's cage it would still somehow poop outside the cage).  They are so delicate you aren't supposed to pick them up for fear of breaking their ribs.  They are dirty, disgusting, and pointless.  Ick.

*I realize this is one chinchilla and judging all chinchilla by the actions of one probably make me speciest but I don't care they are disgusting rodents.
