A lopped earred baby rabbit can have lopped ears right away (10 days old) to 2 months. If they are not lopped by 2 months of age they probably won't lop at all or they will not lop properly. Baby rabbits that are born in the winter are more likely to have poor ear carriage than ones born in the summer.

Lop ears in rabbits are a genetic trait where the ear cartilage is floppier than normal, causing the ears to hang down. This trait is passed down through generations and is commonly bred intentionally in certain rabbit breeds for their unique appearance.
This is either a cross breed rabbit (erect ear crossed with lop ear), a lop with too strong of ear cartilage (ear cartilage in these breeds in naturally more weak and breaks at a young age so the ears cannot be held above the head), or an erect eared breed that has damage to the cartilage in one ear.
Rabbits with lop ears are called so because of a genetic mutation that affects the development of their ear cartilage. This mutation causes the ears to droop or hang down instead of standing upright like those of other rabbits. The lop-eared trait is considered a desirable characteristic in certain rabbit breeds, such as the English Lop and French Lop.
Yes, if a lop rabbit mates with a dwarf rabbit, their offspring may inherit characteristics from both parents, such as lop ears from the lop parent and small size from the dwarf parent. It is possible for the bunnies to have lop ears, but it is not guaranteed as it depends on the specific genetic traits passed down.
A good holland lop's ears will start to lop at 4 weeks of age. If they are not lopped over by 3 months age they will probably not lop over properly ever. They will more than likely airplane at half mast the rest of their life.
I don't know originally where they got their names, but i would guess they are called lop eared rabbits because their ears flop down by their cheeks, and another word for that is lop. hoped this helped. if not, research :)
Lop isn't a age; if that's what you mean. Lop means that there ears go down. For instance, Holland Lops, Dwarf Lops, and Mini Lops all have their ears going down; while Netherland Dwarf don't have loped ears. Hope this helps!
Lop earred rabbits can have lopped ears by as soon as 10 days to 2 months of age. If their ears are not lopping or are not lopping properly by this time they probably will not ever lop correctly. This is called poor ear carriage. Babies born in the winter are more likely to have poor ear carriage than those born in the summer.
there are mutable types of rabbits to be sbusific......47 and the lop eard rabbits are Holland lop [the smallest] mini lop [in the middle] English lop [the 2ed biggest] french lop [the biggest] hopes this helps!!

A lop-eared rabbit is when the ears droop down instead of sticking up.
