Sounds like Atticus has torticollis. Here is an excellent article about this problem: http://www.peteducation.com/article.cfm?c=18+1803&aid=2371 I would recommend you take him to a vet that is proficient in treating rabbits for an exam. They can help you figure out what is causing the head tilt (as you can see there are many reasons he could have this) and to get Atticus to recover. I hope this helps. Best wishes!
