It is hard to guess what a Dark bolo mouse weights. But we have the answer:
An adult Dark bolo mouse (Bolomys obscurus) on average weights 40 grams (0.09 lbs).
The Dark bolo mouse is from the family Muridae (genus: Bolomys). When reaching adult age, they grow up to 14.5 cm (0′ 6″). Usually, Dark bolo mouses have 5 babies per litter.
