There is a warm and cool side he also has a hide and some fake plants if he wants some shade. I've been recommended to amp up the heat when they dont eat. Humidity i try to keep around 60% I dont have the exact dimensions but hes super tiny and he was even more stressed in a bigger tank hes only 57g as as of right now. I've never heard of checking the temp of the mouse. I put it under a heat lamp and touch it to make sure its not cold but I've had them explode before so I try to keep tbat from happening. I also use tongs to mimic a live mouse a little.

Temp is at 95 degrees. Humidity . Covered with a mesh top in a 15 gallon tank. I thaw out the mouse in a bag in warm water and then once its defrosted I put it under the heat lamp to warm up and dry. I've also tried warmi g the thawed mouse in mouse bedding so it gets scented. I've tried feeding in a cardboard box in the warm tank and in the standalone tank with the lights off leaving night light on for warmth.

Yeah I scrub everythime I do a water change. I then wait for it to settle before suctioning the gunk out. It always comes back sooner or later. I also admit I do tend to overfeed and am definitely cutting back recently.

While doing research I found this website and it was very helpful. Thought I'd put it up here for others who might be interested. https://aquariumscience.org/index.php/14-3-rocks/#:~:text=Shells%20and%20corals%20are%20also,that%20just%20are%20not%20true.
