Have Poopu examined by a veterinarian experienced in treating rabbits. Poopu may have an ear infection that could be affecting his balance. The rappid "flickering" could be what is called nystagmus and it means your bunny feels very dizzy. If you can't find a vet with rabbit experience, your small animal vet can examine, diagnose and treat the condition.
