You don't say which motors you are intending to use, but even the smallest
on that site is perhaps a little large for a (micro) mouse. Its not just the
motor, but the batteries that you will need. Usually something like a micro
mouse uses small dc motors and some gearing - often bought as a
combination - google 'gearmotor'.
