he aging of the mice and rats, which was why Jonathan never told his wife about NIMH - he and the children would still be young while she got old and died. So it makes sense that she'd be graying by the time the sequel began, but how was she still alive for the ending of the sequel?

My question is do the children have the aging gene or not. I mean do they age like their mother or are they like their father where they don't age.
