Can (fancy) rats live with (pet) mice?

I'm going to get a fancy rat, and my sister wants a mouse but I'm not sure what will happen if they live together... Help? :)
Answers:
I would strongly doubt it--rats get along with rats, and mice get along with mice, but the two species wouldn't mix. Some animals, like guinea pigs/rabbits and cats/dogs, can live together, but rats and mice are an exception--they wouldn't like eachother much, and the mouse might even be harmed by the larger rat.
Best to keep them separately :D.
Good luck, and have fun with your new pets.
no
Rats in fact prey upon mice. They are sure to fight, so it's not a good idea. If your sis wants a mouse, then it'll have to be in a separate cage.
