Bunny Health need advice!

I agree with @Bunnylady . There is really no such thing as a rabbit expert. There are some who are more knowledgable about rabbits than others, but the day that there can truthfully be someone who knows everything there is to know about rabbits is the day that we can stop raising them.
@Nita , i believe the breed you are referring to is the Angora.

Does your rabbit look something like this?

 

[Nita]

yes it does look like mine except I cut his hair. He was falling asleep but his head tilting up and it scared me. is that normal? If I woke up him up he would act fine but he sometimes sleep really hard

Some Lionheads have a seizure disorder, a bit like Epilepsy. Some may shake and twitch, while others just seem to sit and stare. Nobody knows just how many Lionheads may have this problem, because the rabbits are perfectly normal when they aren't seizing, so someone has to be there and recognize it when it happens. Without seeing what your rabbit was doing, I can't be sure, but it's possible that is what you were seeing.

What do I do when he has them?

 

[lcertuche]

I'm no expert and I don't even have any rabbits now but hope to soon. If the bunny has been on the ground I would have him checked for parasites. My bunnies were not fat but they never was skinny either. Just a nice meaty shape.

that is why I am here to get advice and talk/learn more about rabbits

Any advice you could give me?

 

[Bunnylady]

I don't think there's really anything to be done. I mean, feed him appropriately, etc, just like you would any other rabbit.

It may be a sign of an ear infection. Ear infections can cause a condition called head tilt, which can leave permanent spinal damage. Check his ears, make sure there is no infection/mites. If not, try to contact the previous owner, and ask if the rabbit had an ear infection in the past.

Okay
