Clothing?

Postby BabiieKakesxOx on Mon Apr 11, 2011 5:44 pm

so ive seen alot of hats and clothing for ferrets and i was wondering if anyone has ever seen any of these things for hedgies or a creature the size of a hedgie like maybe a small guinea pig? Id love to dress my hedgie up as a bunny for easter but im challanged in the sewing and knitting department. :oops:

Only time I usually see costumes is around Halloween and maybe an Easter or Santa hat or something and they all seem to be homemade. Most hedgies don't like them or won't cooperate. If you really would like some bunny ears one technique I can think of with no sewing would be cutting from felt and then using fabric glue to put it together :)

The only clothing I know of that hedgies actually like are hedgie "hats" made by nikki of quills 'n things and they won't look like a bunny costume. You could see about getting one made in bunny themed fabric though

The main concern for dressing up a hedgehog is that the clothing would restrict movement, so much to a point that they would not be able to roll up into a ball. If they attempted to do it (which they most likely will), they would hurt themselves badly.

I've only seen one picture of a hedgie that was "dressed up" and it was wearing bunny ears (a head band sort of thing).

I believe someone on the forum a long time ago posted a photo (I don't know who it was, so I can't credit the person).

Here's a pic

It's absolutely adorable ^_^ But I can't imagine it staying on for long >_>;

That's hyterical..!! and very creative too. Here is a link for someone that makes REALLY well made clothes for guinea pigs. I don't think it would work for hedgehogs, but for guinea pigs they are comical http://cuddlycavies.homestead.com/clothes.html
