Baby mice do not lose there fur. They are actually born without it. A healthy baby should be naked and pink. When they reach seven days old then their colored fuzz appears and as the grow so does their fur until they reach adulthood.

I think it is their baby fur, once they are older they will loose their baby fur and regrow thicker and rougher fur:)

They tend to lose fur if they are stressed, there can be other causes like fleas biting at them ect ect, but its nothing to worry about. If you are concerned, go to your vet.
