It is hard to guess what a Hairy-tailed bolo mouse weights. But we have the answer:
An adult Hairy-tailed bolo mouse (Bolomys lasiurus) on average weights 39 grams (0.09 lbs).
The Hairy-tailed bolo mouse is from the family Muridae (genus: Bolomys). It is usually born with about 3 grams (0.01 lbs). When reaching adult age, they grow up to 14.5 cm (0′ 6″). Usually, Hairy-tailed bolo mouses have 4 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.
