Newborn mice are used to their mothers keeping them warm. In order to provide this same warmth you must use either a heat lamp or heating pad. I prefer a heating pad placed under the enclosure. A heat lamp will have to be adjusted and placed and the right distance from the enclosure so that it will not be too warm. most heating pads can be adjusted for a proper heat (between 72-80ºf) I just used a hermit crab heater because it was smaller, cheaper and the temperature was preset for 72-80º.
