In my opinion I would not do live mice. I have heard many horror stories of live mice eating their pets. Once he gets eating try to get frozen and thaw them out in warm water.
As for the lamp, try to use a low wattage night lamp to keep the temp of the cage from dropping too low from the day time temp. I feed my frogs at around 10 pm. The light timer goes off at 8pm. I dont know what the weather is like in canada, but I hear its cold so make sure to watch for temp drops when the light is off. Do you have a light timer?
