How much does a Edible dormouse weight?

It is hard to guess what a Edible dormouse weights. But we have the answer:

An adult Edible dormouse (Myoxus glis) on average weights 128 grams (0.28 lbs).

The Edible dormouse is from the family Myoxidae (genus: Myoxus). They can live for up to 9 years. When reaching adult age, they grow up to 16.7 cm (0′ 7″). On average, Edible dormouses can have babies 1 times per year with a litter size of 5.

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 average adult weight of a Edible dormouse is 128 grams (0.28 lbs)

The edible dormouse or fat dormouse (Glis glis) is a large dormouse and the only living species in the genus Glis, found in most of western Europe. Its name comes from the Romans, who ate them as a delicacy.
