Health Problems Dwarf Breeds
Dental issues
When breeding these dwarf rabbits, the goal is to get them as tiny as possible to create the cutest type of rabbit on the market. Unfortunately, heavy breeding for looks results in a rabbit breed with more susceptibility to health issues.
By creating a smaller breed, you shrink the head size, which causes them to have more problems with their teeth due to smaller jawbones.
Lop Ear Problems
Due to the large lop ears, Teddywidder is predisposed to contract ear infections. In addition, evidence shows that lop-eared rabbits usually have narrower ear canals, which reduce the airflow and increase the amount of ear wax that builds up. This can give infections that can cause deafness if not treated.
The Difference Between Teddywidder and Teddy Dwarf Rabbit
The Teddywidder is slightly heavier than the Teddy Dwarf. However, the main difference is the ears. Teddywidder has lop ears, while the Teddy dwarf has its ears pointing upwards.
