Scorned lovers can now send a pile of dung from a zoo to their ex this Valentine’s Day for just £10.
Customers will even be able to pick which species the poo comes from to reflect their former partner’s personality.
The ex’s name and a personal message will also be displayed by the pile of dung to make for a unique gift.

Zookeepers at the Shaldon Wildlife Trust, Teignmouth, Devon, will be tasked with collecting the poo, as reported by What’s The Jam.
For punters wanting to spend just £5, the staff will pick out a “random offering” from one of the many animals.
However, buyers need to keep their messages clean – with no “profanity” allowed.

The piles of dung are on sale now until 12 Feb.
All the money raised by the purchases of poo will go straight to the trust’s vital conservation work.

It is supporting endangered species in Shaldon and across eight global projects.
A spokesperson for the Shaldon Wildlife Trust said: “Following last year’s ‘stinking’ success, Shaldon Wildlife Trust is bringing back our famous Valentine’s Poo Photos for 2026.

“Whether you want to surprise a loved one, a best mate, or even that ‘special’ someone you’d rather forget, we’ve got you covered.

“How it works, for £5, we’ll pick a ‘random offering’ from one of our residents and feature your personalised name/message next to it.
“For £10, you pick the species.
“Want your ex’s name in Meerkat manure?
“Your partner’s name next to Lemur luck? You choose the animal.”
