Name a roach or rodent for your lover (or ex) this Valentine's Day

3 months ago 17

NEW YORK (PIX11) – Name your favorite invasive species after the person who invaded your heart this Valentine’s Day.

The Bronx Zoo has kicked off its 14th annual “Name a Roach” tradition for the romantic holiday. However, if you have an ex you’d rather forget, the online betting company BetUs lets you name an NYC rat.

Both options go for $15 and give you a personalized certificate to commemorate your newly named vermin.

The Bronx Zoo also offers add-ons for your gift such as a roach belt bag, a beanie, a plush or a virtual encounter to meet a live Madagascar hissing cockroach.

Meanwhile, BetUs lets you watch your rat as it nibbles its way through the court in a game of mini-basketball.
