You don't need to defrost them no, this makes them seperate and when added to the tank can go everywhere. Jeangenie on this site gave me the wonderful idea of using a feeding jar, this is just a glass jar turned on its side which I now have in the tank. To add the bloodworms just take the cube or portion of it and place in at the back of the jar. This way when it melts (it happens pretty quickly) they are all usually contained in the jar and any leftovers uneaten leftovers are really easy to clean up. Hope this helps! :happy:
Oh and dont forget to try earthworms!

Bloodworms can be deficient in calcium and shouldn't be the sole food you feed.

When I feed frozen bloodworm (right now in fact) it's because of a lack of earthworms. I always use 'feeding jars' I notice you're in the UK. I would recommend the jars that cockles and muscles come in [from the chip shops] you can buy them at supermarkets. They have a really wide rim so larger axies have no problem getting their heads in.
But yes if you want to include bloodworm in their diet you'll need some more variety to make sure it's nutritionally complete. If you find the blister packs convenient (I do sometimes when i'm on the move) then you can help this a bit by having a variety of them. Blister packs you can also get are black mosquito larvae, and daphnia [if you're axie is on the small side].
