Tenniel's original illustrations for Alice's Adventures in Wonderland depict the March Hare as wearing straw on his head. During the Victorian age, this was a convention used to indicate madness or insanity.
From Lewis Carroll's Nursery "Alice":
That's the March Hare, with the long ears, and straws mixed up with his hair. The straws showed he was mad-I don't know why. Never twist up straws among your hair, for fear people should think you're mad !

The Dormouse
The chimneys were shaped like ears. Here is the quotation from the book: "She had not gone much farther before she came in sight of the house of the March Hare: she thought it must be the right house, because the chimneys were shaped like ears and the roof was thatched with fur."
The March Hare is a character in the book "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" by Lewis Carroll. He is known for his wild and unpredictable behavior, often appearing alongside the Mad Hatter. The March Hare is famous for his involvement in the tea party scene where he and the Mad Hatter continuously move around the table, never actually sitting down to have tea.
In Lewis Carroll's "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland," the Mad Hatter and March Hare try to stuff the Dormouse into a teapot simply because they were being silly and rude due to the unconventional and nonsensical nature of Wonderland. It reflects the absurd and whimsical behavior of many of the characters in the story.

In Lewis Carroll's book, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Alice doesn't find anything in a teapot. In the 1951 Disney version, when she first sees the Dormouse, the March Hare is pulling him out of a teapot.
