For most bunnies, fur is all they need to wear.

But, for the bunnies and cavies in the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo's rabbit and cavy costume contest, fur just won't do.

People bedecked their animals in a variety of costumes Saturday afternoon. One went as 'Willie Nelson" (while the actual country legend played a show elsewhere at the rodeo) and others were dressed in a variety of costume.

Suffice to say, for the rabbits and cavies, coming as you are wasn't an option.

Oh, and a cavy is a rodent, in the same family as a guinea pig.

Youngsters were able to get hands-on livestock experience with rabbits without needing a wide-open space.
