Smaller animals have a higher rate of respiration because they have a higher metabolism.
Smaller animals have a higher metabolism than larger animals as a rule because the surface area increases as the square of the radius while volume increase 3rd power of the radius which means that smaller animals need to generate more heat because their heat loss is greater for their mass. A higher metabolism requires more oxygen and a higher rate of respiration.
