Chehaw Hosting Second Annual Bugs & Disses

Staff Report From Albany CEO

Tuesday, February 11th, 2020

Valentine's Day isn't always pink hearts, warm fuzzies, or hugs and kisses. Due to overwhelming demand, Chehaw is bringing back Bugs & Disses. Got an ex you just can't stand? What about a coworker who gets on your last nerve? Wish your neighbor would just move out already? Have a true love you want to commemorate in a timeless way (at least until it is eaten)? Name a roach after your favorite person for a small donation of $3, and they will feed it to a Meerkat, Coati, or Bird LIVE on Facebook! Guests can join us at the Meerkat habitat in person, too.

Join Chehaw Live on Facebook at 11 a.m., 1 p.m. , and 3 p.m. on Valentine's day where staff will read the first name of the person that BUGS you the most, as they give critters one of their favorite treats! It may not fix your broken heart, but it might just make you smile! All donations go towards conservation efforts at the Park and Zoo.

Chehaw would like to remind everyone that this is all in fun and meant to be a lighthearted activity. As a family friendly organization, only PG content will be shared. Chehaw takes data protection seriously and will NOT announce any last names, only first names and aliases. The purchaser's name will be kept strictly confidential. Bugs and Disses is NOT a platform for cyber bullying. This is strictly for fun, and a humorous way to celebrate Valentines day.

The animals will be fed Dubia roaches which are specifically bred as a highly nutritious feeder animal for reptiles and other animals. They do not carry bacteria and disease like wild roaches and are ethically bred and kept for the purpose of feeding other animals.
