Question
why is one of my rabbits ear tilting all of a sudden when the other one is fine

Answer
Dear Beth,

If your bunny is an adult and has never shown a sign of an ear drooping, this could be an early sign of ear infection or other condition that could eventually lead to full-blown torticollis, or head tilt.  The causes of this can be the same even without the tilt, so please read this immediately:

and

and get bun to a good rabbit vet ASAP for examination, diagnosis, and appropriate treatment.

I hope this helps.
