FAQs

What Are “Pinch Puppets”?

Unlike your average puppet, pinch puppets have internal hard resin handles under the sqootle’s fur an inch below their neckline. These puppet handles were custom made for Sqootles, allowing them to be held much like one holds a pencil.

We find this gives the Sqootles more mobility while eliminating any sharp surfaces so they are safer for children and those with special needs.

Does Essential Inessentials Take Sqootle Commissions?

We currently do not take commissions through our online center. Experiments funded by the Sqootle Wish Project do show signs of future Sqootles being customizable, but currently this is limited to those residing in the general area where the portal into The Floof Zone is located.

Are Sqootles Hypoallergenic?

Sqootles are fully hypoallergenic! However, the Sqootle Adoption Center is also home to one cat.

When Will My Sqootle Be Shipped?

Sqootles typically take 2-4 days to adjust to their Temporary Transportation Cube (aka: "shipping box"). Once they are comfortable, we send them off to their forever human via USPS. Some Sqootles may take an extra day or two to adjust to their T.T.C. but we have yet to witness this adjustment period taking longer than a week.
