    Not a good idea... When water freezes, it forms crystals, and the slower it freezes (like say because it's in the body of a rodent), the larger the crystals. These things are like razors, which cut through the cell walls, shredding them from the inside.

    The net effect is your re-thawed feeder will literally fall apart because the cell structure can no longer support it's own weight.
