Hormones effect lop ears?

[Pharfly]

Smokey is a purebred holland lop, the breed who I got him from said that he has ear control, he often holds his ears up like a normal bunny or to the side(helicopter bunny!) He was neutered last week and his ears are starting too lop. One is almost fully lopped. Could it be from hormones fading away or could he just be a late bloomer? I have not seen him hold his ears up since his neuter, they have been on the side. He is 8 months old btw.

This is the day I got him

He's a late bloomer :biggrin2:

I had a lop that had the one-up-one-down look for a few months after his neuter, and they finally dropped when he was about a year old.

I don't hormones would affect "ear flop", usually this is simply a result of ear size increasing.
