Yes. They need to be kept warm since their mother doesn't sit in the nesting box with them like cats and dogs do. If you do use a heat lamp you need to be very careful that the babies do not get overheated. They are very sensitive to temperature.

Can hamster die by sun heat?
Yes, they can get heatstroke, which although is nasty, can be curable. Simply take your hamster in it's cage away from any warm areas and place it somewhere cool and dark.

What is the temperature range for a lop-eared rabbit?
Lop-eared rabbits have the same temperature ranges as all pet rabbits.40F (5C) and under: Bunnies need indoor heating, they can't be left outside in these temperatures.40-55F (5-13C): Bunnies should be completely away from breezes, and they should have boxes inside their shelters filled with clean & dry hay and bedding, where they can snuggle and maximize body heat.55-75F (13-24C): Ideal temperatures.75-80F (24-27C): Bunnies are at risk of over-heating and should be completely away from direct sunlight; encourage plenty of water consumption and fresh wet veggies, provide cool surfaces to lie on or beside (like frozen ceramic tiles and water bottles), mist the ears with water, brush out excessive fur (in regular short bursts rather than one extended session -- the brushing can increase their body temp).80F (27C) and over: Bunnies need indoor air-conditioning; if this isn't possible, step up the cool-down methods recommended above, install an electric fan, and keep a serious eye out for heat stroke.

The heat lamp would be installed where it is needed. The only place the lamp is not permitted to be placed is over a doors swing radius. This is in the electrical code to prevent a door that is left opened and in a position directly under the lamp. The heat from the lamp has the ability to raise the temperature of the door to its combustion point and set it alight.
