No, it cannot flatten its bones, but it has very lose connective tissue. The limiting factor is the dimension of the skull, measured from roughly between the ears (technically, the anterior cranial plate) and the bottom of the mandible. This is the largest non-compressible dimension on the mouse, rat, and most other rodents.
