It is hard to guess what a Aztec mouse weights. But we have the answer:
An adult Aztec mouse (Peromyscus aztecus) on average weights 34 grams (0.07 lbs).
The Aztec mouse is from the family Muridae (genus: Peromyscus). When reaching adult age, they grow up to 11.2 cm (0′ 5″). Usually, Aztec mouses have 3 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 Aztec mouse (Peromyscus aztecus) is a species of rodent in the family Cricetidae, native to southern Mexico and parts of Central America.
