bunnys ear

Question
We just brought our bunny home from the pet store.  It is a lop.  Very young/probably 3 months old.  One ear stands straight up in the middle of it's head and never goes down unless I push it down.  The other ear never stands up it always lays droopy.  What is this, is one of the ears broken and is there a cure.  Which one is the problem ear?

Answer
Lops are not born that way - they are born with upright ears that fall sometime in the first few months.  Usually one ear falls, then the other.

So I would give it some time, that ear that is upright is just not ready to fall yet, but will soon.
