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.

What do female rabbits do when they are mad?
Female rabbits do the same thing when they're mad that male rabbits do. Some people say males are more aggressive, but females can be aggressive too for individual reasons. Some things rabbits do when they're mad include:Thumping: Rabbits might thump their feet to show their negative feelings -- annoyance, frustration, anger. This is different from the scared kind of thump; when they're angry, they might thump again and again as they jump around, acting agitated.Lunging: A sudden movement towards you with the head up, tail up and ears back is a very clear form of rabbit communication: an unmistakable threat. Interpretation: "I don't like that, back off!" The rabbit is threatening to attack you.Grunting, growling, snorting, hissing: Bunnies might grunt right before they lunge, or they might just growl once to say "that's enough!", or they might growl and run away from you, or do short grunts every now and again as they thump their feet. Bunnies grunt as a warning to stay away: it just means they want to be left alone. These kinds of noises communicate varied stages of anger, stress, or feeling threatened.Attacking: Biting and scratching -- it really hurts! Rabbits attacking each other can quickly do deadly damage to each other, so never let them fight!Running away, hidingSoft squeal or whimper: Mild annoyance or displeasure.
