Dial A Vet · Accepted Answer

Rabbits thump their hind feet as a warning sign to other rabbits, indicating perceived danger, or as an expression of annoyance or fear. It can also sometimes indicate pain, especially if accompanied by other signs like hunched posture, lack of appetite, or lethargy. Observe your rabbit's environment for anything that might be scaring them. If the thumping is frequent, persistent, or combined with other concerning symptoms, it warrants a veterinary check-up. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
