rotated child block?

Trying to create a beaver, I want the beaver muzzle to have a rotated top.

However the muzzle also needs to be a child of the head so it rotates along with the head when the beaver looks at the player. As soon as I add the muzzle as a child the rotated piece returns to a flat non rotated block. This also happens when i don't add it as a child but set the rotation point to the same as the head and give it the same animation rotation.

Any simple way to get this to work?

I am a noob unfortunately so apologies if this is too complicated a problem and I cant understand lol >>
