nope Rats and mice are two different creatures. They are not adult and child. Rats and mice are perhaps the most notorious household pests. There are three common pest rodents: the Norway rat, the roof rat and the house mouse. Norway rats live closer to the ground and will inhabit basements and lower floors. They may also live outside in burrows. Norway rats' tails are shorter than their bodies, whereas roof rats' tails are longer. Both species average 16 inches in length, tail included. Roof rats, as the name implies, prefer to live higher off the ground, nesting in trees, inside attic walls or dead space inside ceilings. Mice are smaller than rats (averaging up to 5 inches in length, including tail) but they live longer and are more common. All of these rodents will eat food and chew on property if they find their way into a home. Severe rodent infestations can result in structural damage. Mice and rats have also been known to chew through electrical wires.

Most people don't fully comprehend this concept. This is due mainly to the lack of knowledge of rats and mice. Rats live outdoors, are often big and brown. Mice on the other hand live inside, and are quite smaller.
