The Dormouse is pushed into the teapot at the Mad Hatter and March Hare's teaparty.
The Dormouse`The Dormouse is asleep again,' said the Hatter, and he poured a little hot tea upon its nose.
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.
In the book, we're not told much about the Dormouse, except that he's always falling asleep (and the Hatter and March Hare keep waking him up). He's definitely small enough to fit into a teapot.
Only the Mad Hatter is a hatter. The name "The Mad Hatters Tea Party" might suggest that there is more than one hatter there, but if you put the apostrophe in the correct place it becomes "The Mad Hatter's Tea Party", which means, "the tea party belonging to the Mad Hatter".

The character who lives in a teapot in "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" is the Dormouse. He is a sleepy and often overlooked character who attends the tea party hosted by the Mad Hatter and the March Hare.
The Dormouse is asleep when Alice arrives at the party and falls asleep twice while she is there.There was a table set out under a tree in front of the house, and the March Hare and the Hatter were having tea at it: a Dormouse was sitting between them, fast asleep, and the other two were using it as a cushion, resting their elbows on it, and the talking over its head.....`You might just as well say,' added the Dormouse, who seemed to be talking in his sleep, `that "I breathe when I sleep" is the same thing as "I sleep when I breathe"!'`It IS the same thing with you,' said the Hatter....`The Dormouse is asleep again,' said the Hatter, and he poured a little hot tea upon its nose.....This piece of rudeness was more than Alice could bear: she got up in great disgust, and walked off; the Dormouse fell asleep instantly, and neither of the others took the least notice of her going, though she looked back once or twice, half hoping that they would call after her...
Dormouse lives in a teapot in the story "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" by Lewis Carroll.
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.
The Dormouse`The Dormouse is asleep again,' said the Hatter, and he poured a little hot tea upon its nose.
The Dormouse.
The Hatter said that the Dormouse's hair wants cutting.
The Dormouse
Yes, it does. The Dormouse is asleep when Alice arrives at the party and falls asleep twice while she is there.There was a table set out under a tree in front of the house, and the March Hare and the Hatter were having tea at it: a Dormouse was sitting between them, fast asleep, and the other two were using it as a cushion, resting their elbows on it, and the talking over its head.....`You might just as well say,' added the Dormouse, who seemed to be talking in his sleep, `that "I breathe when I sleep" is the same thing as "I sleep when I breathe"!'`It IS the same thing with you,' said the Hatter....`The Dormouse is asleep again,' said the Hatter, and he poured a little hot tea upon its nose.....This piece of rudeness was more than Alice could bear: she got up in great disgust, and walked off; the Dormouse fell asleep instantly, and neither of the others took the least notice of her going, though she looked back once or twice, half hoping that they would call after her...
When she leaves the tea party, the last thing Alice sees the Hatter and the March Hare doing is attempting to stuff the Dormouse into a teapot.`Really, now you ask me,' said Alice, very much confused, `I don't think--'`Then you shouldn't talk,' said the Hatter.This piece of rudeness was more than Alice could bear: she got up in great disgust, and walked off; the Dormouse fell asleep instantly, and neither of the others took the least notice of her going, though she looked back once or twice, half hoping that they would call after her: the last time she saw them, they were trying to put the Dormouse into the teapot.She does see them again however. They are at the trial of the Knave of Hearts, where the Hatter is called as a witness.Alice also encounters the Hatter and the Hare in the book Through the Looking Glass where they are working as messengers for the White King but their names have been changed to Hatta and Haigha.
In the Alice in Wonderland tales at the Mad Hatters Tea Party the hatter spoke about the dormouse being asleep again.
