Would two adult mice be ok to feed at a time. I am going to be breeding my own mice as I already had two female pet mice anyway. And there is a heating pad and a heat lamp. The gages on the warmer side say the temp is 80 and the humidity is about 68

Yes, you can feed multiple mice. Most people prefer rats since you only need to feed one. It ends up being easier and cheaper. But in your situation the mice are fine if that's what you choose.

It's EXTREMELY important to regulate ALL heat sources with a thermostat. It's literally the most important piece of equipment you can have.
Unregulated heat mats can spike to over 120° and cause serious burns or even death.
Heat lamps can also spike and be fatal.

Oh, and if you're talking dial style analog thermometers they are unfortunately I junk and wildly inaccurate. They can be off by as much as 15% or 15°.
You'll want to get digitals if you don't already have them.

80° is too cool for the warm side. You should be aiming for 84 ambient, 78-80 cool and a hot spot of 88-89 measured with a temp gun.
