Up or Down?

[babydoshia]

I love the straight ears. I like lops too but I like ears that stick up better.

Really,I love all the kinds of bunnies (of course). Although the really fluffed out angoras freak me out a little.

Pam,

With the V-ears, can you tell what direction they're focused on? WithTucker, as you know, those ears perk up the minute I talk to him. Dothe V-earred rabbits do that? I'm wondering how strong the lower ear is.

Is there more cartilage than muscle in the ears?

Thank you so much for taking the time to answer my previous questionabout their origin, and thanks for reading this one too. :dude:

The V ears can turn and swivel just as well asthe erect ears There's more cartilage in the ear,andmuscles at the base of the ear.

Both Pernod and Perry are up-eared, but I loveboth types. I think lops have a more 'innocent' look, though we allknow how deceiving that can be - Jan

I've always loved the lop ears! BothFuzzButt & Biscuit are Holland Lops! They areespecially cute when something catches their attention and you noticeone ear up and one ear down!!

I have always had a softspot for lops. Although I did see a photo of a rabbit recently with oneear up and one down, that was just adorable!

I have one of each. Luv is up and Roger are floppy. Sometimes it looks like he is about to take off haha.

I have both. Pauly's a mini-lop, Mella is amini-rex. When Pauly wasa baby one of his ears was up& one was down. The vet called it a "cosmetic flaw" I thoughtit was so cute & would've been happy if they stayed that way.Now both of his ears are down and yet, he's still SO cute!

The up ears are definately more expressive. Lops, as cute as they are, look a little drunk (even my sweet pauly)

Look at this drunk bunny and his up ear sweetie:

To flop or not to flop? That my friends is the question.....

Iam going to have to go with non flop, but then again I ambiased,being the proud mommy of two nonfloppers...and likeothers I think they are so expressive.

Mind you, today whilst I was out I saw three floppers and they were just so darn cute.....

Okay, so I may be a little indecisive in my decision

Behold the magnificence of His Majesty's "uppies" ... ...

It's easier to read bunnies with ears up.

Getting in on thisone a little late but better late than never! I've grown to like someof the uppies since getting to know them on the forum! I'm partial to afew of those ears. Elf, Ivory, Mr. Wiggles, Izy, just to name a few.But I do love my baby boy's ears! Sebastian's ears are considered afault. He has really good ear control. He uses them all the time. It'skind of hard to get them both down at the same time for a picture ofhim sometimes because if he's interested in what I'm doing he uses theone ear like an antenna! Anyway, here are a few photos of a lop thatcan use his ears really well!

YEY, there's my boy again!!! Raspberry, youreally love taunting us don'tyou .On your own head be it when Sebastian suddenly isn't there one day andis on his way here

Thisway Sebastian, this way - Jan

 

[RaspberrySwirl]

uh oh. Here we go again. Youbetter cut itout or someone is going to tattle to those two lovely boys of yours!I've seen their photos and never heard a bad thing about them. I've gotyou all figured out. You sit back silently hoping that if you keep yourlittle secret aboutPerry and Pernod,maybe thosecrazy ladies won't come after them.....well, watch it lady.....I'm onto you....

I can't decide! I just love Chompie's floppyears. They're so soft and he just adores it when I play with his ears.How can you not love this face?
