I ought to disagree with the guy who mentioned the traditional weight is two hundred-3 hundred grams. My little woman who's a 2 years old yet nonetheless the size of a toddler weighs that, the traditional weight of my boys is around 450g. the superb thank you to tell if a rat is obese is to look at its abdomen while it stands up. If the tummy stands out, then its obese. I particularly have one rat that weighs very practically 800g and his sibling weighs 375g! yet they're the two the the superb option weight for their physique.

About one pound, in the wild. I would think that some domestic rats could weigh 3 or 4 pounds, at least.
