Pesach Faqs

Can I feed mealworms to my pet gecko on Pesach? Mealworms are a living creature which is not chametz and can be used as-is. However, they are commonly sold in a bed of wheat flakes or oatmeal, which are chametz and may not be owned or used on Pesach. Accordingly, it is typically not realistic to use mealworms on Pesach. [Some have had success feeding crickets to their geckos for Pesach.]
