Should be. As long as they haven't been sat out too long already.

Make sure you warm them up a bit before re-offering them.

I've kept mice in the fridge overnight with no problems. I wouldn't keep them any longer than that, though, and just be sure you remember to put them away. I left an adult mouse in the thawing tub on the counter overnight... that wasn't so very pleasant the next morning.

Also, if your snake doesn't eat it's often recommended to wait until the next scheduled feeding day. Harrassing the snake with food every day can condition them against eating. You can try with these pinks again, perhaps try braining them or cutting some slits into its back to see if that helps things. But if he doesn't eat after that, toss them and try again next feeding day. :)
