Can rats and mice be kept in the same cage?

Our apartment seems to have become the critter apartment with 3 ferrets, 6 rats, a tarantula and soon a sugar glider. So when a friend of ours asked if we wanted to take in a mouse it was no problem. I am wondering if the rats and the mouse can be kept together or if we need to get the mouse a seperate cage.

What do I need to do if I would like to become an exotic veterinarian, like at a zoo and a private practice?

I would like to become an exotic veterinarian, like one who works at the zoo part time and one who works at a practice for people’s pets part time. What school would I need to go to, and what course requirements would I need? I know that it would be insane to try to work on a large number of animals at the zoo, but like…say I specialized in big cats, at the zoo, what would I need? And if I worked with sugar gliders, ferrets, rats, etc…in the seperate practice. Is there a seperate veterinary school, or simply seperate course requirements?
