Average adult Guinea Pigs, also called Cavies, for Boars and Sows (males and females), up to 6 months old weigh a minimum of 32 ounces.
Youngin's under 4 months weigh between 12-22 ounces.
Go to a vet. They have an accurate scale if you do not.
A kitchen scale would be an option.
If you live in a small town, maybe they Post Office will let you weigh him/her on their scale!!

Put your guinea pig in a cage with a handle. Hang cage and guinea pig on a set of fish scales. Record weight. Now, remove guinea pig from the cage and weigh the cage only. Subtract the cage weight from the total weight for the weight of yor guinea pig.

When they are that small you will have to have a special scale to weigh them it is simular to the scales you see in the grocery store for the produce. If you really want to know take them to the vet and have them weighed there.

Get either your kitchen on bathroom scales. Place a big bowl on them and Zero the weight. Then place your piggy in the bowl so s/he can't run off and read the weight (you may have to wait for a little for him/her to stop wriggling first!). Simple.

first you stand on the scales and weigh yourself then stand on them again holding the guinea pig whatever the difference is how much your guinea pig weighs.

I would use kitchen scales (like you use to weigh flour)
the grams and kilo's will give a more accurate measurement.
Failing that, you can use the volume system Archimedies (dont know how to spell his name) used by throwing them in a full bath and see how much water overflows.

Get a small up to five pounds postage scale. That's how I used to weigh my little cavy.
