Mice can be cannibalistic if given the right circumstances. Anyone that breeds mice will attest to the fact that mothers will not hesitate to cannibalize their babies if they believe they are in danger of some sort. This is both to regain some of the energy lost by having the babies (and if she believes they are going to be eaten by a predator otherwise, giving them a quick death.)

If 2 male mice get in a fight, and one kills the other, they have been known to eat the dead one.

Starvation can also provoke a mice to attack another mouse for a food source. But that's pretty rare seeing as they can eat just about anything they find. And they can survive on the smallest amount of food.
