Eco-Friendly Cuddlekins 12 Inch Stuffed Giant Weta by Wild Republic

If you tend to think of insects as very small critters, the Eco-Friendly Cuddlekins 12 Inch Stuffed Giant Weta by Wild Republic might well surprise you, because these particular crickets can measure up to around 4 inches and can weigh more than a fully grown mouse. At around 12 inches, this plush giant weta is larger than the real thing, which means you can study this unusual creature at close quarters without the risk of a nasty nip (don’t worry, though, as they’re not dangerous to humans). The perfect pet for you if you love the weird and wonderful, the Eco-Friendly Cuddlekins 12 Inch Stuffed Giant Weta by Wild Republic’s name comes from the Maori word for ‘god of ugly things’, although that’s a little unfair as this stuffed giant weta is more interesting than ugly and will certainly add an extra dimension to any stuffie menagerie. In a wonderful, sandy brown color, the Eco-Friendly Cuddlekins 12 Inch Stuffed Giant Weta by Wild Republic is much softer than you’d expect a cricket to be, with a velvety plush coat that’s made entirely from recycled materials; in fact, this giant weta stuffed animal’s fabric and filling are both made from discarded plastic water bottles, which have been washed, shredded, melted and spun into luxurious materials to give you the best cuddles around, while also protecting the planet from pollution.

Wild Republic doesn’t just produce fantastic stuffed animals, they also work closely with many foundations to provide housing and education for disadvantaged children, as well as protection for abandoned animals throughout the world. Proceeds from Wild Republic’s sales help to support these organizations. We are proud to carry their excellent products on StuffedSafari.com and to do our small part to help contribute to their charitable donations. Wild Republic has also incorporated many eco-friendly practices into the production of their items so that they can reduce their footprint, such as using plush filling made from recycled water bottles, and even producing an entire line of stuffed animals that are made from 100% recycled materials. All of the incredible stuffed animals by Wild Republic are made with all new, child safe materials and they meet or exceed all U.S. safety standards.
