This morning our small Nethie decided to 'hump' our other bunny's head. (which she occasionally does!) Since then his one ear is lying back and feels warm. Could she have broken or dislocated his ear. He doesn't appear to be in any pain, he is eating etc; and he will let me touch it. I can't feel anything odd, but am concerned that his ear has been damaged. Does anyone have any ideas as to what I can do to check. I don't want to have to take him to the vet unless absolutely necessary as he gets very stressed.:?

Has he ever done a flop with his ear before? Moses never used to flop his ear at all. Now does it all the time. First time I saw him do it I thought it was broken but he was fine.
