Hummingbird fax:

A hummingbird eats about half of its body weight in sugar daily and may have a meal up to every ten minutes. In eight hours, that bird could have up to forty-eight small meals! A single hummingbird may also consume hundreds of fruit flies a day.

I read small mice need to eat at least every 2 hours or they will die because the small body surface to volume ratio is so bad that they lose a lot of heat energy.

I work on lab mice. This is incorrect. They can fast for up to 24 hours.

No, it's just not true for all mice. Just small ones, like shrews. Check out the section Behavior here, for example: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eurasian_pygmy_shrew
