Rabbit thumping is a strong indicator of fear, anxiety, or occasionally, pain. It's their way of signaling perceived danger to other rabbits. Observe what triggers the thumping. Is it a loud noise, a new person, or a sudden movement? Try to identify and remove the stressor if possible. Ensure your rabbit has a safe, quiet hideaway where it feels secure. If the thumping is constant, accompanied by other signs of distress, or if there's no obvious trigger, it could indicate pain, and a veterinary check-up would be wise. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
