It is hard to guess what a Borneo roundleaf bat weights. But we have the answer:
An adult Borneo roundleaf bat (Hipposideros sabanus) on average weights 4 grams (0.01 lbs).
The Borneo roundleaf bat is from the family Rhinolophidae (genus: Hipposideros). When reaching adult age, they grow up to 7.5 cm (0′ 3″).
As a reference: An average human weights in at 62 kg (137 lbs) and reaches an average size of 1.65m (5′ 5″). Humans spend 280 days (40 weeks) in the womb of their mother and reach around 75 years of age.
