Holland lop ears not lopped

[Binkybuttons]

I have a 9 week old holland lop bunny but his ears aren’t lopped. Sometimes they stick up straight and sometimes they airplane or one sticks up and the other airplanes. Will his ears ever lop completely? I love him either way.

he's just a baby and his ears are quite normal for this year. Their heads can take up to two years to develop properly. based on what I see they should lop properly before 11 months old. probably even by six months.

Thanks for the input! I just read a lot of people saying if their ears aren’t lopped by 8 weeks they won’t lop. I’ll wait and see as he gets older, either way he is the cutest!

I think in some cases they can lop later - I've seen a few breeders keep a kit for a while to see if the ears would lop or not (from what I've gathered, the 'lopping' process is linked to the width of the crown so I guess it can vary a bit with the rabbit's growth). Anyway, he's adorable and I love airplane ears ^^.

Thanks everyone! If they don’t lop, I’ll just have a holland lop who never lopped �� love him anyways!
