If you'd rather thaw it first, place the cube in a small container of aquarium water for a few minutes, then tip it through a fine net under cool water to rinse off any cloudiness before feeding — discard the soak water rather than pouring it into the tank. Once a cube has fully thawed, use it straightaway; don't refreeze it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eStorage and cold-chain note\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis product is stored and supplied frozen and needs to stay that way until you're ready to feed it. Keep it in your freezer at home. A cube that still contains ice crystals, or has stayed cold and below 7°C for under two hours, can go back in the freezer — but once it has fully thawed and warmed up, it should be used or discarded rather than refrozen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWarranty and delivery\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur products come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law. You're entitled to a replacement or refund for a major failure, and to compensation for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage. You're also entitled to have goods repaired or replaced if they fail to be of acceptable quality and the failure doesn't amount to a major failure. As this is a perishable frozen item, please check it as soon as you receive or collect it and let us know straight away if there's a problem with the cold chain.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrozen food is pick up only from our North Lakes store, because a pack that thaws on the way cannot be refrozen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCommon questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eCan I feed the cube while it's still frozen?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes.
