Hello. A head tilt in a rabbit is just about always an ear infection. Your bunny needs to be evaluated by a veterinarian so that the proper antibiotics can be started. If left untreated, this can become quite serious for your pet so I do hope you can have him seen soon. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
