Hi!
We adopted a baby male lionhead rabbit from an “oops” litter. We did not see the parents, but were told he’s a full blooded lionhead. Well, his mane isn’t very pronounced at all, but it’s there. His ears, however, always looked too long to be full lionhead. As you can see in the pictures I included, one ear is now almost always lopped. I was wondering if maybe some of you who know more about the rabbit breeds could tell me if you think he’s maybe a lionhead/lop cross of some sort? Or if I should be concerned about the ear?
More info:
He just turned 3 months old
He is exclusively kept indoors, in the AC
His ear is lopped when he’s laying down, resting, and sometimes when playing. He does still have control of it, though, as he’ll pop it up while he’s investigating/playing.
He doesn’t seem to be scratching or fussing with it excessively
We just adopted a female Holland lop baby, and it seems like the ear started lopping right after she arrived.He doesn’t seem depressed, though, as he’ll play, binky, eating/drinking/pooping fine.
They are kept in separate cages for now, until they are both fixed and healed. We have let them play a bit together (VERY supervised of course), and they seem to like each other. She will sit still while he grooms her face, but we don’t let them interact much more than that for a few minutes for fear of breeding.
Any thoughts? Thanks in advance!
