Rabbits thump their feet to warn others of danger. They basically use it as a signal.

Rabbits also sometimes thump out of frustration, anger, boredom.

Whatever the reason, your rabbit is thumping in order to get your attention!

It's easy to tell the difference between a danger thump and a frustration thump: If the rabbit is warning of danger, it will look very alert, ears cocked, body still; if the rabbit is thumping out of frustration, it will usually be jumping around or playing or acting agitated.
All rabbits thump. This is a warning signal, all rabbits CAN be lookouts for the herd. Predators, strangers and loud noises will provoke thumps from rabbits.
