I have used a magnifier with my cavys trying to read the tags. With it on my head I can hold the guinea pig with one hand and the tag with the other. I got mine at Hobby Lobby a crafts store in the Counted Needlepoint area for fine work. It is kinda neat, has a hinge and you can leave your glasses on and hinge it up or down to use it. I think it comes with two different lenses and you can purchase more up to 7x. But, yes, you do look kinda silly, but on the other hand, you can see what you need to see. I have never thought to use it with the plants, thanks for the idea.

Crafts, etc is the catalog version of Hobby Lobby if you dont' have one near. Wow, look at all those magnifiers, might find something I like more.

The picture below is one of the pigs I have used the magnifiers on and you can't even see the tag. It is tiny way up on the ear, and the numbers on it are even smaller.
