Mice as a rule are social creatures. Female mice can, and should, be kept in groups of at least three (that way if one dies, there will still be a pair to keep each other company).
Males, unfortunately, are too territorial and should be kept singly as pets.
Never keep males and females together unless you want, and are willing to care for and/or rehome, a LOT of babies.
Ensure they have a large cage to run around and explore in, as mice are generally very active, smart, and curious; and will get frustrated if kept in a tiny cage. A ten gallon tank, or wire cage of similar dimensions, is fine for three mice.

Why don't mice and rats get along?
It's not that mice and rats in general have a grudge or something against each other. It is more so that rats can be bullies. Just from reading and watching the behavior of my rats I learned that they can become territorial as well as pick on anything they have advantage over. For example the mice are small and the rat can easily overpower them. Not to mention since rats can be territorial especially when it comes to their living environments such as sharing a cage, it is usually wise to have a rat in his own cage until he gets use to having a playmate around. Like I said before rats are prone to bullying and if you give them the chance they will. Hope this helps :)
