Hi everyone,
We got a male Belgian Hare to keep our rather bossy mini rex girl company about a week ago now. He is 10 weeks old. He is eating well, drinking, bright and alert and no causes for concern, except after about 3 days of getting him home the tip of his right ear went floppy. Its not the whole ear, he's not head tilting and doesn't seem remotely bothered by it. He isn't kept in the same hutch as another rabbit atm as she is still getting used to him with supervised contact in the house. I haven't seen him injure it and there are no signs of injury. Has anyone ever experienced this before? Is this something to be concerned about? Or is it just the way he is? Obviously if he seemed ill I'd have taken him to a vet, but he seems totally fine other than his ear!
