He has reaaally big ears in comparison to his body. When they were standing they would move in correspondence with his emotions. So cute Here is the basic way I am taping them.
Make sure that his ears are clean of any ear canal hair.....shave them down, use an alcohol swab to insure there is not greasy residue on the ear leathers......make sure you don't block the ear canals.....as long as you detect no odor in his ears.....it's very safe to leave it up for 5 days. As a matter fact you are doing more harm to the ear leathers, by taking them down daily.
