This is because smaller animals have a lower surface-to-volume ratio, thus a larger relative heat loss to the environment per unit time.
To maintain a constant body temperature despite rapid heat loss across a body surface, a small animal must oxidize food at a high rate.
So they tend to finish their metabolism at a faster rate.

Mouse ears are very large relative to their heads, rat ears are smaller relative to their heads. Rats also have thicker tails than mice.
