In your video I noticed that the nestbox is huge, newborn kits can get chilled easily if they are separated. maybe that's why
You might be on to something I think I should keep them in the house next time so I can watch them.

5" deep of bedding should be OK. They will pop up to the top to feed when Mom jumps in. I think the most important thing is to make sure they can be covered up.

NO HEAT LAMP.....Top heat will definetly kill them, bring them inside during the coldest parts of the day, they shouldnt die unless its rediculously cold. no heat lamp though
