A heating pad on low under 1/2 the carrier is good. That
way they can get away from the heat if it is too much.
If the belly isn't empty they can get runny stools and
not digest the food properly. The 1 cc isn't very much
formula. At 5 weeks they can drink 3-5 cc three times a
day. So if he wants more that is ok if he is doing his
pee and poop as he should. If you don't notice elimination
he will need to be stimulated.
They are actually beter off left a little hungry than to
be over fed as a general rule.
