TreatHearts: Send the Animals Your Love
Share the love this Valentine’s Day! Send a Treatheart and your donation means extra snacks for some of your favorite Museum critters all year long.
For every $25 donation you make to the Treathearts campaign, you will be entered for a chance to win an original piece of art made by our Museum ferrets, Bonnie and Clyde! Two winners will be chosen for the two available “5×7” pieces.
The campaign ends on February 15.
Please note that these Valentine’s Day treats will not be given to the animals all at once. Your donation will support the Animal Care Department and the cost of these treats throughout the year.

Rat Actually: $25
Our new Red Wolf pair, Carolina and Jacques, often receive previously frozen rats for their dietary and enrichment needs. Love is all around, so send them a rat-sicle this Valentine’s Day!

You’ve Got Bale (Vegetarian and Vegan Option): $20
No stamp necessary for this love letter! One bale of hay for Lightning and his Farmyard Band™ keeps them rocking and rolling. This everyday staple is twice as sweet when it comes from you!

Worm Your Heart: $10
Although technically a type of beetle and not a worm, mealworms are eaten by Carolina Wildlife songbirds and box turtles. Let these animals worm their way into your heart and show you care!

Nuts about You (Vegetarian Option): $5
If you buy a pig a peanut, they’ll love you forever! Send Pearl and Gustav, our pot-bellied pigs, an enrichment bag filled with peanuts this Valentine’s Day!
