It is hard to guess what a Siberian brown lemming weights. But we have the answer:
An adult Siberian brown lemming (Lemmus sibiricus) on average weights 58 grams (0.13 lbs).
The Siberian brown lemming is from the family Muridae (genus: Lemmus). It is usually born with about 3 grams (0.01 lbs). When reaching adult age, they grow up to 10.3 cm (0′ 5″). On average, Siberian brown lemmings can have babies 3 times per year with a litter size of 6.

The Siberian brown lemming (Lemmus sibiricus) is a species of rodents in the family Cricetidae found in the Russian Federation. It does not hibernate during winter; it lives in burrows.
