Ready to Feed Your feelings to a Sloth Bear?
Name a superworm for only $15. Give a Sloth Bear a Tasty Snack. Support Animal Care.
Superworms are a favorite food item of Heiderose and Randhir, the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium's two beloved sloth bears. In fact, they eat hundreds each week!
And YOU can name a worm before it becomes a tasty snack!
- Name a worm after your ex
- Name a worm after something challenging you got through last year.
- Name a worm...because it's just been one of those days.
Turn your feelings into something delicious. You’ll receive a digital Valentine and a video of sloth bear Randhir savoring his snack. Each worm dedication is a donation that directly supports Animal Care at the Columbus Zoo, including feeding close to 350,000 superworms each year to several species!
