My mini lop is about a year old and she regularly has one ear up, usually when she can hear something strange, she's very alert

Julie is not a lop. She is a Californian but always listens with one ear up when people are talking.

Ive had 2french lops.Got them both at 12weeks but both ears were lopped so sorry not much help there!Im sure the ear will lop soon cos they will be too heavy to hold up.Is your bun a cross breed?Its just frenchie ears are usually too heavy to hold up.Sorry,did that sound rude,i didn't mean it too.Afterall ive only had experiance of 2frenchies so im really no expert.

They can take a while to decide which way they are going to go, but if she's a frenchie I'd be surprised if they didn't lop completely in the next few weeks.
Two of my mini lops (sisters) have helicopter ears - obviously couldn't decide which way to go, so chose one of each:lol::lol:

Any photos's of your frenchie - I love frenchies

Good News!

The top of Poppy's ear is starting to fold over, might there be a total ear flop insight!:lol:
