Does the mouse have any special meaning in Buddhism ?

    Not in Theravada Buddhism. I did a search of the Pali canon and nothing to do with mice turned up except one reference to them as prey for an owl... where they symbolised prey for an owl. Not significant.
    Maybe some other tradition has a place for them.
    Best of luck.

    Aha, I didn't search them, just the suttas. I'll have a look.
