I've found out why her face fur is so scarce
I've heard of mice in barred cages getting scarce fur on their nose from poking it through the bars. However, tonight while I was watching them play, she crawled up the waterbottle and stuck her nose in this little space between the tank and the lid - does that make sense? Either way, she's shoving her nose into this little space and I'm pretty sure that's why her face fur is so scarce! But...how do I stop it? Is there any way to discourage her from doing this?

Besides getting another top that doesn't have that space, I can't think of a way to deter her.

Thin fur is usually a result of the mouse scratching herself with her hind feet.
