It is hard to guess what a Broad-toothed mouse weights. But we have the answer:
An adult Broad-toothed mouse (Pseudomys fuscus) on average weights 129 grams (0.28 lbs).
The Broad-toothed mouse is from the family Muridae (genus: Pseudomys). It is usually born with about 7 grams (0.02 lbs). When reaching adult age, they grow up to 16.6 cm (0′ 7″). Usually, Broad-toothed mouses have 2 babies per litter.
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.
The broad-toothed rat (Mastacomys fuscus) is a species of rodent in the family Muridae.
