No problem. You can feed them as they come. Freezing is just for keeping them over any period of time. I put the frozen half in the tank on a clip and it thaws right away.

Freezing is to avoid introducing unwanted parasites or bacteria to your tank. I highly recommend freezing them.

Freezing stuff doesn't kill bacteria, simply forces a dormant state. Once thawed, you still have the bacteria.
