Large number of buns they choose there [emoji38]

Bit worrying though, that people might see that and not adopt lop eared buns.
I actually fell in love with two lops up for adoption the other day [emoji7]

Lop ears can lead to more problems but how can owning lop earred rabbits be cruel???
I agree it is breeding for looks like designer dogs that is the problem. Actually owning one (from a rescue ideally so as not to fund the breeding of less healthy rabbits) is not really the problem, badly worded article imo.

Lillian is most upset by this news. She is proposing to cancel her subscription to the telegraph.
She says that she has a particularly healthy appetite and has no trouble at all eating - which is also substantiated and supported by Henry who can't get near the food bowl.

i think you're probably right there, mini lop.
my 2 lop-ears have passed on now, but i'm sure they were either deaf as a post or the ears interfered with their hearing. if i approached them from behind they would be extremely startled when i came into their view.
it used to worry me as with the ordinary sticky-up-ears buns i had before i could tell if there was a cat around long before i saw it from their alertness.

i agree with you both. All breeds will have their problems that a wildie wouldn't
Boo is completely deaf & Mouse definitely can't hear much, if anything - she doesn't startle though.
I like a rabbit that looks like a rabbit. Boo was my first lop, she was the only female rescue available for Joe. I'm glad fate took me to her though
