Energy Kamuruko was out tracking with dogs when he noticed a rabbit dart into a tunnel near the village of Mandipaka.
The 20-year-old peered inside but his head got stuck. His body was found the following day by a neighbour.
A postmortem confirmed he died on Sunday of asphyxiation.
It is the second hunting-related accidental death in the African country in recent months.
In August, Tamsen Lucius, 36, impaled himself on his own spear while chasing wild boar.
Officials said he had climbed a tree to try and get a better angle with his weapon after tracking a herd of the animals in the bush.
But he died instantly after losing his footing and impaling himself through the chest.
Hunting remains common across rural parts of Zimbabwe, where many people continue to live traditional lifestyles.
