I think this is the apropos follow-up.
Bugsy and Mugsy
Directed by Friz Freleng, Written by Warren Foster
Released on August 31, 1957
When Bugs' hideaway from the rain turns out to be the hideout for a couple of criminals, the wasckily wabbit decides to teach them a lesson. A lot of the gags used in this cartoon are similar to those used in another Warner Bros cartoon Stooge for a Mouse, instead starring Silvester the cat.
I know they re-used the bit with the magnets under the floor for at least one other cartoon,
but I cannot recall its exact nature; I think it involved Sylvester and Spike (or some burly cartoon dog of whose name I don't know).
Ah, its in the description!

A crafty mouse decides to remove his one obstacle to obtaining a block of cheese - a Cat called Sylvester - by stirring up trouble between him and Mike the Bulldog; two buddies turned to enemies by the mouse's clever set-ups implicating Sylvester in attacks on Mike.
The Plot Summary is exactly as in 1957's "Bugsy and Mugsy" short. All of the Plot, in both shorts are alike except "Characters" & ending. A: In 1950's "Stooge For A Mouse": There are three characters, they are "Sylvester", a Friendly Bulldog and a Mouse that schemes to make the bulldog dislike Sylvester. The Mouse is successful, until the concluding scene, in which it goes to the block of cheese, as it nears the table with cheese, a magnet, used by the mouse (above the ceiling) falls through hitting it, injuring it, after "Sylvester" and the Bull-dog are already injured. After the magnet hit the Mouse, the cartoon ends, showing "Sylvester", the "Bull-dog" & the "Mouse", all three are in the final scene & all three appear "lifeless". As this concludes, a "Home Sweet Home" sign falls from a wall and lands in front of the mouse, cat and dog. B: In 1957's "Bugsy and Mugsy", the plot is generally the same, as in 1950's "Stooge For A Mouse", except the "Characters" are: "Bugs Bunny", Rocky and Mugsy. In this short, "Bugs Bunny" does the same scheme: causing friends to become enemies, and achieves his goal, Rocky and Mugsy are captured and "Bugs Bunny" was not hurt, at all.
