How do I approach bringing my new (and first) taxidermied bunny to my dorm?

Hey everyone! Today I went to an oddities convention and picked up a beautiful, ethically sourced bunny. She’s absolutely gorgeous and I’m thrilled !! So thrilled that i would love to take her back to college with me in two weeks, but am unsure how to approach it with my roommate. My mom is pretty adamant that I don’t need to even say anything about it, especially since we’re close friends and she’s aware I’m goth and love “abnormal” things. She knows I bought the rabbit but I don’t have the slightest idea if she’d be comfortable living with it considering it was technically roadkill before art. I just really love this piece and paid a good penny for and would hate to not see it for 4 months! How do I approach this? I don't know how to attach a pic of her without deleting my paragraph but for reference the bunny is wearing a pink frilly clown outfit and is grey!

I would also appreciate travel care suggestions! My school is only two hours away, but am concerned about the commute in the car :)
