"These are my mice."
Translation:Это мои мыши.

Because in this context, "это" is "these are". If you say "эти мыши", it would be "these mice". For more info on where to use which form, check out the guide to using это.
It still doesn't make sense. When you say These are my mice in English you're essentially saying "These [things] are my mice", not "This [things] are my mice". I guess in Russian This just doesn't conjugate in this situation, making it even more confusing.

мыши is nominative case and мышей is genitive or accusative
I thought this one said "this is my mouse" and when I used an online translator it also said "This is my mouse." Can someone please explain this?

When we say in English "There's somethings you're forgetting." it's abomination, but it all fine and dandy to say "Это мои мыши." I'm sure the excuse is buried here somewhere in the comments. You'll excuse me if I don't sift through them all. There's more important things to worry about.
