As far as I know they stamp as a warning to others that they have sensed danger.

When Arthur is patrolling the garden he often freezes, listens, stamps, then comes bolting back up the garden to hide behind me. There again it only takes an empty crisp packet being blown in the wind to scare him :lol:

It seems to show both fear, anger and frustration.
One day I was watching two rabbits mating and the female sat in a corner so the male couldn't get behind her, he stood by the side stomping:lol: Poor Heffalump..(yup, that was his name)

I also once experienced as one student brought her dog into the rabbit-room at school, and the dog came over to look at the rabbits, a French lop spotted her, stomped, and suddenly all the rabbits started panicking:shock:
