Orca said she would like to model her 'weigh in day' pose! Put a few dandelions to the side of the scales if they're flat ones like mine, that way they don't put their heads & front feet over the top of the display! 
They'll also stay still.... Just that little bit longer!
Good luck xx

I think it's a matter of finding the right bowl. The one I use is curved all the way around and quite deep, so they don't have the purchase to jump out. Plus I can put my hands over them to keep them in.

I use an old ice cream 
tub on my scales. I do it on the floor so they can't get hurt if they jump out. They soon got used to being weighed and stopped trying to escape!

I use an old Tupperware rectangular box that the piggies fit in.

We use a shoebox, and usually a coriander bribe! This is quite an old photo, Piggle weighs 200g more now
