> They can have ears up to 32 inches long! Does can weigh 10-15 lbs., with bucks generally weighing 9-12 lbs.
Behaviour: Adult English Lops are often referred to as the "dogs of the rabbits". They are generally known to be quite placid (even lazy), out going, curious, & friendly. They can make wonderful pets for children although as a large breed rabbit any interaction between child & rabbit should be supervised
