Mice, while they can contract rabies, as all warmblooded mammals, can, it is extremely rare and hasn't been documented in the U.S. This is because rabies is transferred through a bite, and even if the mouse was bitten by an infected animal, it wouldn't live through that sort of attack.

The animal would also 'drool'. This was all caused by the fact that the throat would close up and the animal could not drink even if it wanted to.
