It sounds a little like "head tilt."
I have had rabbits in the past and have one rabbit now... and I have heard this term tossed around periodically.... here is a long, article about head tilt... I'll see if I can find a less wordy explanation of it... Not sure if it is curable, but I would definitely take the rabbit to the vet... preferably a vet who is familiar with rabbit care.
Meantime, here is the homepage ofr House Rabbit Society for other good rabbit info... like finding a rabbit vet.
Head tilt: boring article http://www.rabbit.org/health/tilt.html
House Rabbit Society homepage http://www.rabbit.org/
According to this article, it's very treatable: http://www.bio.miami.edu/hare/tilt.html
Actually, both articles are good.... scroll down on the first one to see if any of your rabbit's symptoms match up with the symptoms described.
Whatever is going on, head tilt or not, do take the bunny to a vet.
Good luck!

My bunny's butt sometimes twitches when he eats...odd I know. Take the bunny out of it's cage to play in a safe area. See if it just wants attention. How old is the bunny? If it's not too old and still eating, and going to the bathroom it may be okay. Just look the bunny over: skin, fur, teeth, nails, ears to make sure. And play with it! My bunny was acting odd when we gave too much attention to baby and not him. They're more 'human' than you think they are! :) Have fun

if it is a baby bunny it may not be used to using its legs, or if its to hot it might be having a heat stroke. try putting a few drops of water right behind its ears.

Odd. Might want to take her to the vet to check it out, make sure it's not a medical thing.

I agree with checking with the vet. It could also be a neurological problem.
