Running Rodent

This is very similar to the Jittery Mouse. This is a small plush toy where uou pull the string and the rodent jitters to move across the floor. Unfortunately, the jittering only lasts about four to five seconds. If it danced longer it would be the greatest thing in the world. It travels about two feet on each string pull and moves mostly straight ahead with a slight turn to the left. The string to pull is covered with about two inches of furry material, which makes this more interesting than the Jittery Mouse which had a felt pull on it. The Jittery Mouse’s pull just had a felt tab. This rodent's tail is long enough to pick it up and toss it around by its tail. Unlike the Jittery Mouse this also will sometimes waddle/bounce a little as it moves across the floor—the change in gait is very appealing. The noise it makes, like the Jittery Mouse, is very interesting too. But, it still doesn’t waddle long enough. So far, it has been relatively interesting, but I am not sure whether it will have staying power.

Pros: The noise it makes is very interesting

Cons: Needs more running time
