It is hard to guess what a Mahomet mouse weights. But we have the answer:
An adult Mahomet mouse (Mus mahomet) on average weights 10 grams (0.02 lbs).
The Mahomet mouse is from the family Muridae (genus: Mus). When reaching adult age, they grow up to 12.9 cm (0′ 6″).
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.
