Lop rabbits, does anyone else's lop rabbit develop an uppy ear after cuddles!

Boots has lop ears, but after a nice relaxing cuddle he hops off with one ear up :lol: he's always done this so its nothing new, but just wondering if any other buns do this too? :wave:

Here's a post cuddle pic to show what I mean :thumb: the uppy ear goes down after a short while.

 
:lol: Bless him! I love all the individual quirks our Buns have! The only the reason I can think of why he does it, is being a way to cool down maybe? I don't know!

Kirsty's ears always remain down, but boy do they go forward when he smells food!! :lol:
 
Daphne gets an uppy ear when she's stressed about something

Her during bonding with Phoebe last year - her stress beacon is well and truly visible.

It can't be the heat, he always does it even in winter, interesting idea though.

Lovely photo :love: I don't think it's stress, unless it's the stress of a cuddle ending ;):lol: he's so laid back nothing phases him. He doesn't even get stressed on vet visits :shock:

Looks like it's a common trait. But he never does it any other time other than post cuddle :s

Gorgeous photo :love: Boo and Boots do go together!

Boots was a rescue bun, he was part of a rescue of 3 rabbits found dumped in Meadowhall shopping centre car park :cry: the other 2 were named Dora and Diego. He was supposed to be an outdoor bunny but he spent I think one night outside :lol:
 
I don't think deaf bunnies suit outside anyway;). Whereas I can't answer the why post cuddle ear flop I do believe rabbits have an extensive language just based on their ears alone. Mouses ears are up & down with her moods for sure

Exactly ;) we didn't realise he was fairly deaf until we'd had him inside for a bit. The original plan was that he was going to be an outside bunny and the rescue were going to find him a wife bun, but when we decided to bring him inside he seemed so happy as he is :love:
 
Awwwww!!! I've never seen this before. My Frenchie had no control whatsoever over his daft loppy ears!! :lol:
 
Autumn did her first helicopter yesterday :lol: It was after she'd ran full pelt and had her ears blowing in the wind :love:
 
Aboleth's goes the other way: after a cuddle she's always got a loppy right ear. Lopsy has enough control to swing his ears forwards when he's listening to something (we often wonder what he's listening to...!) but he's never helicoptered :)
