You can blanch the veggies in batches and freeze them and they will keep for several months.

i normally just add them in raw, somewhere i read it can help with roughage for digestion.

I am sure in the wild nobody blanches the stuff for them either but it just softens the vegie up. that way you dont have to keep it in the tank too long before its all eaten. raw pieces usually didnt get started on for a day or so sometimes, at least in my tank.
