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. Even if it did, the virus would kill it before it had a chance to spread it.
