Got a well used Mongoose Crossway 250 with Shimano SIS index 7 speed Rear Der. Rides and shifts good, just a little rattle when pedaling. Jockey wheels are really tore up tho. Can I swap jockey wheels from a rear der in my stash?
Shimano Jockey Wheel interchange or replacements?

Should be able to, no problem. Just make sure they have the same tooth count. Its just a little bolt that goes through, and the pulley wheel has bearings in it.
If you have the room, you can fit a pair with a larger number of teeth. I've done it and it works fine.
*Edited to be written more clearly, though I don't think anyone thought I meant larger sized teeth.

Started to clean up derailleur and discovered the jockey wheels are crammed with greasy dirt! So much junk stuck to the wheels it made it look like teeth were missing. Even though its a used hybrid 29er, It's obviously got tons of miles on it. Given a good clean up and it's off for a test ride.
I use aerosol carb cleaner, and blow them out with air. Plenty of rags to keep the gunk off the bike.
Relube with your favorite sauce. I use bar and chain oil for chainsaws, it has a wax component.
Not sure if its bike mechanic approved, but its stuff I already have in the garage.
