How much does a Little native mouse weight?

It is hard to guess what a Little native mouse weights. But we have the answer:

An adult Little native mouse (Pseudomys delicatulus) on average weights 8 grams (0.02 lbs).

The Little native mouse is from the family Muridae (genus: Pseudomys). When reaching adult age, they grow up to 6.7 cm (0′ 3″). Usually, Little native mouses have 3 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.
