The mother rabbit may accidentally take a chunk out of a baby's ear during kindling. If you have older babies with chunks out of their ears I would first check the doe for mastitis (swollen mammary glands, she may bite babies if they try to nurse and she has mastitis) If she is OK I would be inclined to think that you have too many babies in too small of a cage and they have started fighting, biting chunks out of each others ears. Time to put in a larger cage, wean from mother rabbit and/or separate into bucks and does and give them their own cages. Lop Eared Rabbits are not more likely to do this than other breeds of rabbits.

Do cats eat bunnies?

They won't actually eat the bunny but be careful if they weren't brought up together since they where babies they might potentially hurt eachother. I wouldn't suggest putting them together. My cat will watch my bunnies but not eat them. The only thing that looked like she hurt one was when she pawed at one.
