Would this hamster safe plants list apply to mice?

I've been trying to search for an answer to this but all the lists I find either don't list a whole lot or just list veggies.

So, is there anything on this list that catches your eye to not be mouse friendly?

If anything, is cornflower safe? I have a good amount growing in my dad's garden and wanted to see if the girls like it, but I just wanted to be safe before throwing it in.

Thanks for any advice!

I think that other rodent safe lists can generally crossover for mice. So yes, I believe that list for hamsters would be safe for our mice as well.

A note on mint: you may find it listed as a no-no for mice on many sites but I believe this is from people confusing the safety of whole fresh or dried mint with the much much more concentrated essential oil. Fresh or dried mint leaves are safe. The essential oil is not. My mice always loved when I offered dried mint leaves and stems. Smile
