She wishes she kept Truffles in a showing way, not because she doesn't like the other one. Thought I'd clear that up!
Such cute buns!
Alfie is about 17 weeks and his ears were dropped when I got him at 10 weeks. He's started to move them a bit- he sticks one behind him listening when he's eating sometimes it's really cute! View attachment 6995View attachment 6996
Truffles & Lady are 2 cuties :big kiss: I love the Lops!
I'd be surprised if Truffles ears don't improve for you, especially since she has come from people that breed & show rabbits

I breed and show rabbits, but can tell you the crown is one of the hardest parts! Slipped crowns (placed too far back on the head) are very common with Holland Lops, like the rabbit pictured. Tight crowns are too. In Hollands, you're working toward a very wide, massive head. So it can be difficult to balance that with the appropriate width of crown. Even those of us involved in breeding/show have to keep an eye on correct ear carriage.
American Fuzzy Lops seem to be the same way, but the larger lops (Mini Lops, French Lops) have less trouble. I guess since their ears are inherently heavier and longer, faults to the crown would have to be more extreme to see much ear control.
Lady is gorgeous! I wish they had shelters here in Tasmania, with lops like her in them. I'd choose her too :highfive:
