Lop ears don't drop until 9 - 10 weeks

Hi Leanne and yes this is true, and sometimes it can be several months or more before the ears completely Lop over..especially in bigger bunnies.
Our French Lops ears did not go over until he was 1o weeks old.
Smaller breeds should be much quicker though.

I suppose you could always try a bit of cosmetic surgery and try pinning them down in position with sticky tape to give them the right idea :lol:
(Only JOKING....we would not recommend sticking bunnies up with selotape, glue or anything else :D )

I do know that many pure-bred lops do lop fully at 3 weeks or so, maybe this is a cross breed. :roll:

This is true but it also depends upon the size as well as the breed of rabbit....there are several breeds of Lop from the mini Lop right up to the (Giant sized :lol: ) French Lops.

The ones that lop around 3 weeks are Minis, and I have known Frenchies lop at 5 weeks, German Lops at around 4 :roll: JMHO,

lops

all of my mini lops that have been born this year have tended to 'lop' at 3 weeks.....its so cute when they are all so small and these big ears...

on saying this though, i definitly agree with what else has been said, but on saying this though your bunny maybe a cross breed, where was he brought from?...

working in a pet store myself i know that dispite what some breeders will say, sometime it is obvious that young rabbits that are coming in are not lop!....we once had a litter that all had ears like a hare and the breeder was like
'they are pure lop', thouse poor bunnies where with us for about 8 weeks :(
