No mice and rats are two different classes of rodent. Their bone structure, tails, snout and even means of "socialization" seperate them. When a mouse goes outside-it become a mouse outside.

Uh...no. Mice are about 1/10 the size of a rat. Mice get to about 2-3 inches long and weigh about the same as a chicken egg. Rats can get much larger, nearly a foot and weight 8 oz- 1 lb.
You might be interested to know that in the wild, rats will catch and eat mice.

no, they are two very different kinds of rodent. the rat, speaking from personal experiences is much larger then the mouse. I've had both as pets, i started with mice, but grew tired of them very quickly because they stink no matter what sex they are and rats, well only males stink, in my opinion.
plus mice will run away when taken outside, rats will not. at least mine never did they just followed me around, tunneling through the grass after me.
so no.

Mice and rats are 2 thoroughly different animals. Neither can become the different,Ever. in case you have a sprint one mouse it won't become a rat, the two, only an grownup mouse.

first of all, if a MOUSE goes outside, it becomes a mouse that is outside
mice and rats are different species, they're genetically different, they're physically different, and a mouse/rat couple can't reproduce....or at least, not to produce fertile offspring
..a mouse can't be a rat.
