It is hard to guess what a Olive grass mouse weights. But we have the answer:
An adult Olive grass mouse (Akodon mansoensis) on average weights 39 grams (0.09 lbs).
The Olive grass mouse is from the family Muridae (genus: Akodon). When reaching adult age, they grow up to 3.7 cm (0′ 2″).
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.
