Likely no. Rats are predators and are very likely to kill and eat the mouse. Although I've known a few rats who've accidentally come into contact with pet mice and behaved toward them in a friendly manner, most would kill them. If all were raised together from babies they would get along, however.

Is it cruel to feed a snake live prey?

It depends on your point of view. Animal rights followers think it's cruel - HOWEVER - in their natural environment, snakes do NOT consume carrion. They only eat what they have killed themselves. Compare the death of a rat killed by a snake - with the death of a rabbit targeted by a fox... The snake strikes at the rodent, instantaneously 'wrapping' the rat in its coils. As the rat breathes out, the snake tightens its grip - and the process is repeated until the rat is dead. The whole process takes less than 10 seconds - and the rat certainly has no idea what's happened ! Now - the rabbit being hunted by the fox - is chased over a longer period of time (often for many miles). The fox simply runs the rabbit until it collapses from exhaustion (the rabbit runs out of fear for its life). Once caught, the fox rips the rabbit apart (sometimes the rabbit is still alive).
