How much does a Günther’s vole weight?

It is hard to guess what a Günther’s vole weights. But we have the answer:

An adult Günther’s vole (Microtus guentheri) on average weights 50 grams (0.11 lbs).

The Günther’s vole is from the family Muridae (genus: Microtus). It is usually born with about 3 grams (0.01 lbs). They can live for up to 3.83 years. When reaching adult age, they grow up to 10.7 cm (0′ 5″). On average, Günther’s voles can have babies 6 times per year with a litter size of 6.
