The mice in the Wizarding World were essentially no different from the rodents of the order Muroidia that Zheng Qing had encountered throughout his life – all were grey-furred, long-tailed creatures that burrowed, climbed trees, and swam, with strong vitality, rapid reproduction rates, and preferred living in sewers, ditches, graveyards, and such places – At most, the mice in the Wizarding World were a tad bigger, slightly smarter, and a bit more resilient to survival.
This only makes sense for mice living in the world of wizards.
