Why does my rabbit thump its foot, and how should I respond?

Rabbits thump their hind legs as a warning signal to alert others of potential danger or to express displeasure. It's a natural behavior rooted in their survival instincts. If your rabbit thumps, check for possible stressors in their environment, such as loud noises or predators. Ensure they feel safe and secure in their habitat. Responding calmly and removing the stressor can help reassure your rabbit.
