Floppy ears

[amberlynn550]

Bandit my little one, I noticed that his ears have just become floppy. I don't know What it means. I have checked around the ear for discharge and I have found none. He seems fine, very active. The only thing is that his ears were once very perky and now they are floppy (if that makes sense). He is only about three months old, is he just growing and this is what happens to some GP? Any help would be most grateful. Thank you.

As little piggies grow into big piggies their ears do drop - as long as there are no other apparent problems or changes in behaviour then I would imagine it is purely down to growing up.

Don't we all! I've noticed that quite a few baby piggies (days out spent looking at baby piggies in pet shops) have almost pointy ears, like other rodents. You never really see them in adult piggies so at some point they must go floppy.

As the ears grow, they get heavier and go floppy in most piggies - how much depends on the final size of the ears.
