Mice potentially can carry rabies, but it is extremely rare and there has not been a documented case in the US. (Small rodents are believe not to spread the disease because they seldom survive being bitten by an animal that is carrying it, as they are a food source and get eaten.) Ground hogs seem to be the only rodent with the ability to carry it regularly and account for some 80% or more of the cases found in rodents.
Also, and contrary to some folklore, ticks do not carry rabies. Rabies is only carried by warmblooded animals.

∙ 14y agoStudies say that most rats have a "dry bite" because their incisors are far from the inside part of their mouth that would result to less saliva or even none at all. Rabies is saliva-borne! So a "dry bite" has a nil chance of getting rabies.

∙ 14y agoYes. Although rabid mice are rare, it does happen, and a mouse bite can give your cat rabies if the mouse is infected. Further, any warm blooded animal could be infected. So, hunting cats are especially susceptible because they prey upon such a wide range of animals and have, virtually, daily contact with at-risk animals.
