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

An adult Kemp’s gerbil (Gerbilliscus kempi) on average weights 100 grams (0.22 lbs).

The Kemp’s gerbil is from the family Muridae (genus: Gerbilliscus). When reaching adult age, they grow up to 16 cm (0′ 7″). Usually, Kemp’s gerbils have 4 babies per litter.
