They're evaporating, Hun. They go from a "solid" frozen state directly into a gas. The process is called sublimation.

They are drying out, dehydrating. Because ice is just frozen water, and the freezers are mostly now frost free, the freezer is trying to continuously remove moisture. That's why old ice cubes shrink!

this is popular testicle habit. If ice cubes are left in the freezer for an prolonged time they start to think of that they are testicles in the chilly and subsequently shrink. in basic terms kidding! They slowly chic into water vapor.

Generally ice cubes become larger due to the expansion of the freezing process of water. They will become smaller due to the state-of-the-art refrigerators which compensate for solidification of water and allow for dis compensation of H20 known as "frost free". This removes the excess molecules of expansion and makes the frozen ice to decrease in density.

Because they melt slowly after the freezer door is opened over & over again for a long period.

It's called sublimination. It's a type of evaporation.

Other things shrink when cold too. :)
