I think he meant that the mouse was eaten by a rat. Rats are much bigger and hunt, kill and eat the similar but smaller mice.
In fact there is a term for it: muricide.
Rats also practice infanticide.
So, yeah rodent morality is also complex.

My wife thought that was really gross, but then I reminded her of the time that we saw a seagull eating another smaller seagull while it was still alive and still walking. That topped everything I've seen.
