How much does a Romanian hamster weight?

It is hard to guess what a Romanian hamster weights. But we have the answer:

An adult Romanian hamster (Mesocricetus newtoni) on average weights 97 grams (0.21 lbs).

The Romanian hamster is from the family Muridae (genus: Mesocricetus). When reaching adult age, they grow up to 18 cm (0′ 8″).

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.
