Couldn't hurt to try, the Internets seem to recommend a 1:4 ratio of hot water, this was for horses tho, they didn't seem to mind. Someone was mentioning that it was an easy way for him to get his old horse to get more water as well.
"If you soak in hot water, 1/2 hour works. I use Timothy/Alfalfa cubes from Triple Crown - I soak 1.5 pounds of dry cubes (I weigh them dry first) - I soak them in a 6 quart Tupperware container and I fill the container 1/2 to 3/4 with water (after cubes are in). They fluff up nicely and fast. I sometimes add hot water and drive to my barn - 20-30 minutes away, and feed right away, they are just fine."
