Question
when my rabbit is siting he moves his head from side to side does this mean he is blind in one eye  

Answer
Does he have red eyes or eyes that glow slightly red in the light? Rabbits with these eye colours process light differently, so they sometimes move their head like that to get the full picture. It is called scanning, and it is perfectly normal for rabbits with red eyes or a red glow.
