I know we have all tried it (or at least thought about it). Dressing up our bunnies in super cute wittle costumes. With some research or trial and error we know it’s not always a good idea to dress up our little bunbuns like tiny little sailors. Bunnies don’t like the feeling of being restricted and will often panic so instead we have to control ourselves and keep our outfit ideas to ourselves. I did once try dressing Philomena up. I researched ahead of time and learned about how bunnies feel about being stuck in restrictive clothing so I opted to try a little Christmas cape that could be velcro’d loosely around the neck. Philomena would look great in red and I was hoping she would tolerate it long enough for a picture. She didn’t. She panicked. And she made me promise to never do it again. I really want to dress her up like a princess but a promise is a promise, and I intend to keep it.
Sometimes though (usually when she’s busy eating) I will place a plastic bottle cap a top her head. And she’s confused a bit at first but then continues eating and behaving like everything was normal. It. is. adorable. I have also tried other objects, dandelions and other food things, hay, and hair ties. The hair ties are large enough to fit over her ears without constricting the ears in anyway shape or form so no worries. I want to either make a small crown or somehow get her to let me put a bow by her ear so I can take a picture and marvel at the cuteness of my bunny but that is a task for another day.
Has anybun out there been successful when dressing up their bun? Any funny stories? Cute pictures? Ideas? Wishful thinking?
