My teddy lop Amy is 10 weeks old now. Her ears flopped when she was 5 weeks old and they stood like that.

Now after 10 weeks the left ear suddenlz sticks up..I mean totally sticks up very strong and stiff. It wont flop anymore.

And I wonder why?
 
Weather changes or cooler temperatures can cause a lop ear to suddenly go back up. Sometimes the rabbit just develops more in the muscles and connective tissues of the ear base, giving it more ear control. Stress may also be a factor.

Hm..the temperatures changed drastically from very hot summer temperatures to autumn like coldness -.-

I guess I will just have to watch it..? Or will it flop back down when it gets hotter again? :D
