Can't say about prunus and mice but thought someone might want to 
know about prunus and rabbits: 
I had an enclosed area hammered by rabbits last winter, I had 
probably twenty different fruit and nut species and only three 
escaped rabbit damage, the rest were annihilated. They are vitis, 
ribes, and prunus cerasifera (gisela rootstock, this was the only 
cherry I had in that area, it was the only tree among about a 
thousand all around it that didn't get even as much as a nibble). My 
plums, both Jap/Am and Euro were eaten to the ground as well as 
apricots. 
(I don't get mice damage usually since I use six inch tree guards)
