If the lid was on the tank, then someone had to put it there.

I've done a lot of work for customers who have rodents getting into the house by gaps in vents, pipes, crawl spaces, attics, etc.
My favorite were rats that got in and chewed the bathroom drain pipe so every time they used the shower or faucet, water got to adjoining flooring and saturated everything. It caused $3,200 in damage.
That said, <mice> only need a 1/4"-1/2" holes to get through anything. If you didn't have the toilet lid right, I can see it crawling in. But to be sure, check alibi's for all your house guests.
