The smaller the volume, the larger the ratio of surface area to volume.
As cooling is a function of surface area those with small bodies have to generate proportionally more internal heat than those with large bodies.
(Some small mice have to eat several times their body weight each day. Elephants though they eat a large number of kilograms of food each day do not consume any where near a hundredth of their body mass per day)
