Bun clothing and accessories

[Bunbunmamma]

I am interested in designing and selling bunny clothing and accessories. However, I can't seem to find anywhere online to purchase this currently, does this mean there isn't a market for it or do you all think this would be a business worth giving a shot? I'm really just wondering if people would purchase these products, would you?? I was also thinking about including gunny pigs and maybe ferrets (also any other pets that you think would be a good idea). Thoughts??
Thank you so much in advanced for your opinions! Namaste. =o)

Your rabbit is adorable , I wish I was able to flip mine like that. I think its worth a shot , I guess I would buy it if it was the right price & my rabbit was comfortable.

Hi there! I think it would depend on what sort of clothing or accessories you're thinking of selling, the price range you want to set and also your location since shipping can be a deal breaker for those who live in other countries.

I've seen people dress their bunnies up in clothing for cats or small dogs so I know that there is at least some interest, but I think you'd have to figure out a way to appeal yourself or at the very least offer competitive prices. Personally speaking, my Mocha hates being constricted like that (he either runs around trying to shrug it off or chew it off him ASAP) so I wouldn't be inclined to buy him clothes, but depending on what you mean by accessories I might be interested However, I would have to take shipping into account too. Most of the places selling bunny-related goods - toys, supplies, treats - are located in the US and even for someone living in Canada like me, shipping can be pretty pricey and lead me to pass up on buying from certain sites even though some of their products look really great.

Here is my perspective as a bunny mom & potential buyer. Clothing itself is not a necessity for my buns & two, I'm not sure my two does would allow clothing on themselves. But what about a t-shirt or jumper/body suit for female bunnies to cover & protect the incision site after spay surgery or other clothing coverings for other bunny surgeries? I would definitely buy something that would help protect my bunnies incision site after a spay or other surgery. Maybe even talk to your bunny's vet about this idea if you are interested in this idea as a possible bunny clothing line.
