Average Weight

What is considered the average weight for a northern? What about Irian Jaya? I always see a lot about length, but never weight.

I don't know about "average" but my 2 female 5-year olds are in the 900 g. range and my similarly aged male is more like 600 g. These animals are well proportioned in my opinion - neither fat nor skinny.

I've been wondering that. My 3 1/2 year old female is 647 grams and looks very proportioned.

My Northern hybrid is 20 months, slightly overweight (I was worried about her loosing weight during brumation so indulged her appetite in the fall :) ) and currently 668 grams
