Ears up/forward - Your rabbit is curious, looking around and listening. In lop breeds, the ears don't usually swing straight up, so when a rabbit is checking out new surroundings or approaching you, they usually swing their ears forward.
Rabbits use a complex string of body signals to try and tell us what they are thinking. Similar to horses, rabbits frequently use their ears to communicate. It can be hard and confusing to understand what your rabbit is trying to tell you if you don't understand his body language. Ears up/forward - Your rabbit is curious, looking around and listening. In lop breeds, the ears don't usually swing straight up, so when a rabbit is checking out new surroundings or approaching you, they usually swing their ears forward. Ears back/flat, sometimes accompanied by lunging - Your rabbit is irritated, angry or upset. Ears back/flat/low accompanied by putting the head close to the ground or on the ground and approaching - This means the rabbit is looking to be groomed or licked by another rabbit. When he does it to you he wants to be pet. Also means the rabbit is relaxed. Ears moving - Whenever you see your rabbit moving his ears right and left, backwards and forwards, sometimes while standing on his hind legs, this means the rabbit is listening and "tuning in" to a sound.
