Okay so how do you tell if a holland has a slipped crown? Pictures of a slipped crown and a good crown would be appreciated (sp?). Thanks!

Slipped crown:

See the space between her ear and eye? This means she is slipped.

Good crown:

See how his ear lays behind the eye? When the ears are in their natural position, you want them to be placed similar to this.

No problem. ^_^

Just make sure their ears are laying in their natural position before you judge the rabbit, some of them will pull their ears back/forward which can be confusing. It can make them look like they have good position or slipped when they may not be. :lol:

haha I love airplane ears. But I agree it's annoying to take a lop out and they won't relax their ears. My friend's holland, Nutmeg always does that.
