my daughter has 2 flemish cross buns 3 months old, one of the girls Fiona her ear tips have all of a sudden flopped, could there be anything wrong? her sisters ears are still normal
this is her ears before, she is about 8weeks old here

and her ears now

im confused why this would happen

and this is dad

This occasionally happens due rapid growth and it usually corrects itself fairly soon. I would not be concerned.

thank you
someone just said to me it can happen due to stress?

What you are seeing is called "Bell Ears".
It may correct itself in time, but then again it may not.
I do not believe it is a genetic factor, It would
just elliminat the Rabbit froim showing with such a "Fault".
Give it time before you make your final decision as to
what to do with the Rabbit.

It happens to my Flemmish crosses who inherit the bigger ears, so far they have all out grown it.

As MaggieJ stated, I believe it has to do with rapid growth - the cartilage grows faster than the connective tissues in the ear and that causes the tips to bend a bit, they should return to normal once the tendons catch up in length.

Rapid growth, heat and/or dehydration.

I agree with the what has all ready been said... Just want to say that I love the names. I love AT.

It isn't due to stress, don't worry!

I see this occasionally in my Rex and they always outgrow it. So far, I believe I have only seen it in the warm months.
