The best assessment would be going to a vet who can safely and professionally assess if there seems to be something wrong with the ear. If you visually are seeing “stuff” there, that’s a good sign something is up. Head shakes can also be a head “binky”. Also, rabbits do scratch their ears, as a normal behavior, so if it’s not happening very frequently, it may just be simply that. If there’s enough scratching to cause bleeding or irritation, I would be more worried.

I would also recommend a vet assessment generally because your rabbit is on the younger side of being separated from their mother. Typically it is 8 weeks of age we see rabbits separated, so it may be good to get a baseline assessment of your rabbit’s health.
