It is hard to guess what a Woolly dormouse weights. But we have the answer:
An adult Woolly dormouse (Dryomys laniger) on average weights 25 grams (0.06 lbs).
The Woolly dormouse is from the family Myoxidae (genus: Dryomys). When reaching adult age, they grow up to 10.5 cm (0′ 5″). On average, Woolly dormouses can have babies 1 times per year with a litter size of 4.
