How much does a Round-tailed muskrat weight?

It is hard to guess what a Round-tailed muskrat weights. But we have the answer:

An adult Round-tailed muskrat (Neofiber alleni) on average weights 265 grams (0.58 lbs).

The Round-tailed muskrat is from the family Muridae (genus: Neofiber). It is usually born with about 9 grams (0.02 lbs). When reaching adult age, they grow up to 19.9 cm (0′ 8″). On average, Round-tailed muskrats can have babies 4 times per year with a litter size of 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.
