My Snickers sometimes swings her head from left to right, looking concentrated while doing so. Have anyone ever seen this? And why does she do that? Maybe she is bored, but they have a great playground inside. And a great ran and house in the yard. Never saw Furby doing something alike.
Snickers is quite smart. :bunny19
 
It sounds like she could be scanning? If she happens to be a red or blue eyed white rabbit, this would also fit as they don't have the best eyesight and scanning is due to poor eyesight and the rabbit trying to focus in on an object(that's why it moves it's head back and forth). If you look towards the end of the second link there are a couple of video's showing rabbits scanning.
