It can be really difficult with some of them. I find horsfields to be the worst for letting you do it.

ah not just me being an idiot then ? that's a relief. kiara by comparison will quite happily put her head in her shell. Deemos just an awkward lil sod i think

Re weighing, I just take the container off my M&S scale and put my tortie on in his plastic bath container (remembering to adjust scale with this on empty first). Mind you I have an adult tort so he weighs a lot more than a small one would. So the 10g increments are OK for him.

XD ..... see I've got the hang of it now!
