For adult gliders (and Chins), the best scale I have found is the one sold by Weight Watchers at their stores. It weighs in 1 gram increments, which is finite enough for adult gliders.
The best scale I have found for joeys is available from Scale Discounters - their Pocket Jewelry Scale is ideal for joeys because it weighs in 1/100th grams, so you can really monitor the joey's weight progress on a daily basis.
When using mine, I put a small Rubbermaid container on the scale first with a fleece blanket inside, then tare the scale before placing the joey inside. With the small 1/100th gram increment, weight progress is easy to see daily; whereas with 1 gram increments, it may be 2 or 3 days before you can see a change up or down.
This is my Cleo in the scale just yesterday

The joey weights seem good. Of course, daily weigh ins will tell you the true story of how they are doing. Little Cleo was up almost 2 grams today from yesterday 
As for Zazu, 96 grams is on the smaller side of average for an adult male, but is fine. You may want to start a separate thread in diet & Nutrition to ask for advice on getting him to eat his fruits & veggies (that way, this thread won't go way off topic  ).
