Foot thumping in rabbits is a strong form of communication and usually indicates fear, alarm, or annoyance. They thump to warn other rabbits of perceived danger or when they are feeling threatened or stressed. It's their natural instinct. Carefully assess their environment for anything that might be scaring them, like loud noises, sudden movements, or a perceived predator. Ensure they have a safe, quiet space to retreat to. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
