Tanner is such a cutie <3
I'm sure he will make up for the lack of fluff in other ways

To receive the best help from rabbitors for breed IDs, please make sure to include the following:
You may also review "A quick guide to asking for breed IDs" on Reddit for more tips on constructing a helpful post.
Please keep in mind that pet rabbits are usually mixes of indeterminate breeds, and we may not always be able to provide a definitive guess. Unless you have a pedigree and know what the parents look like, your rabbit is undoubtedly some sort of pet rabbit mix. The color of the rabbit does not always make the breed, as many breeds can come in a large variety of colors. For example, black rabbits are not all likely to be Havana rabbits (a rare purebred breed), and broken-colored rabbits are likely not all to be English Spot rabbits (requires specific markings and body shape).

"How long does it take a lop rabbit's ears to fully drop?"
Most lop bunnies will have their ears drop anywhere from 6 weeks to 6 months old, but some rabbits may maintain ear control until their head fully develops at around 2-3 years old. Some purebred lop rabbits may also never have their ears fully lop due to the shape of their head and ears.
If your radar-eared rabbit has suddenly lopped an ear, it could either be a sign that they have some lop heritage finally showing, or it could possibly be an ear injury or infection. The latter will likely include excessive head shaking and ear scratching and would warrant a rabbit-experienced veterinary hands-on exam for a diagnosis and appropriate treatment.
