How much does a Red-tailed phascogale weight?

It is hard to guess what a Red-tailed phascogale weights. But we have the answer:

An adult Red-tailed phascogale (Phascogale calura) on average weights 43 grams (0.09 lbs).

The Red-tailed phascogale is from the family Dasyuridae (genus: Phascogale). They can live for up to 3 years. When reaching adult age, they grow up to 10.8 cm (0′ 5″). On average, Red-tailed phascogales can have babies 1 times per year with a litter size of 7.

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.
