re-freezeing thawed bloodworms

[AlexsDaddy]

Is it ok to re-freeze thawed bloodworms? I mean, will they go bad like hamburger or other meats do if you freeze them again after they have been thawed?

it's not recommended becuase i believe they're usually flash frozen in the company, so when you thaw them out, and then froze htem again ur doing it slowly, and this causes the cells of the bloodoworms to brust..w.hich means that all the nutrients is lost

So what is the best way to get a full bloodworm off the cube? My AFD eats them better whole, but it's easier for the betta if they are in pieces.

Crush them in a ziploc baggie using the underside of a spoon, then stick what's left back in the freezer before it defrosts. Hikari makes a flat pack. The bw's are actually better out of the flatpack,they're not quite so...chewy. Plus you can break off slivers if you need.

i stab the cube with something shapr and it breaks into the pieces, then i take one of hte pieces out and put the rest back into the freezer

I cut a cube into a couple pieces last night and thawed it out and just gave all my bettas and the frog the bw's. It used almost the whole piece so I guess I'll just do it like that. Thanks for the help!
