File their nails down. Declaw them if it is terrible, but risk them getting an infection.

How do you talk to a rabbit?
You have to understand their body language. If your rabbit grunts or tries to pee on what its grunting at it is saying "I don't like when you do that. I'm mad" If a rabbit is mounting another rabbit, the rabbit on top is saying "I'm the dominant rabbit. I'm in charge here." If the rabbit on the bottom is staying still, it is saying "I know you are in charge." If the rabbit on the bottom is trying to get on top, it is saying "You are not in charge, I am." If your rabbits are not fixed, these mounting behaviors might mean they are mating. If your rabbit has its ears flat back on its back and you are petting it and the rabbit is staying still, it is saying "That feels good. You are making me calm." If you stop petting your rabbit, and it nudges or nips you, it is saying " Why did you stop? Keep petting me." If your rabbit is laying down it is saying "I am tired. I am calm" If one rabbit is laying down in the same cage as another rabbit it is telling you "I feel calm with this other rabbit. They are not a threat. I can trust them." If two or more rabbits are laying very close to each other or next to each other, they are saying "This other rabbit is my buddy. I trust them very much." If one rabbit is grooming the other, it is saying " This rabbit is my friend."

When rabbits thump their back foot does that mean there's danger?
Rabbits thump their back feet when they think there is danger. Key word is THINK. They are scared easily by other animals, or loud noises. Thumping technically is their way of warning fellow rabbits of something "dangerous" or a possible danger. Rabbits also thump when they're frustrated (or possibly sexually excited, or a little angry). It should be obvious by the rabbit's body language which kind of thump it means. If the rabbit looks alert, eyes wide, body taught and tense, then it thinks there may be danger around; if it's hopping around and scratching at things or playing or humping, then it's frustrated.
