Wonderfully easy to direct! This is a cute little character that appears in several different versions here at Animal Makers.  Small guinea pig or hamster type animal.  This particular puppet has a missing ear that has been lost (see pics), but will get fixed prior to filming.   Photos are of actual item as it is now.  Performance includes some fix up including the ear. There are other versions available with regular eyes instead of "surprised" eyes(Hamster Critter Guinea Pig Character Hand Puppet 2). All of these are standard hand puppets with rod-controlled arms.  This means that a rod connects to either arm that is needed to move.  Usually, the rod is attached in such a manner as to be not seen by the camera. Puppet is 8-10" tall.  Small hand size for our puppeteer.
