The rabbits were thumping like mad last night.

Wise Old Thumper
Can't understand why but it went on for 2 hours and they were all doing it, there was no fox or cat in the back garden as they can't get in anywhere as we have fencing then a high hedge, and we have never known them be like this before all we can think of is Holly who is a very nervous girl and was rescued by her last owner from a 'not very nice rescue centre' seem's to suffer from nightmares and thumps a lot when she has a bad dream and last night it just started them all off.
We did think a storm was due but no it just rained and today is ok.
Very odd :?
 
Odd indeed. :? Was it like a rabbit orchestra? I hope they (and you!) have a more peaceful evening tonight. :wave:
 
Oddly enough we've had it the last 3 nights here with some of the buns too. Nothing in the garden either or the security light would have triggered:?
 
My old bun daisy was a real thumper, i swear she did it so id go down to the kitchen where she was :) xxx
 
Pierre started randomly thumping last night, then stalked my room and began again. I thought he might have seen a spider or something but i looked everywhere for crawlies and there wasn't anything. Im putting it down to bad dreams :lol:
 
Alvin does it and hes deffo got no predators in this house :roll:

hes had me checking for burgulars at 3am many times :evil: :lol::lol::lol:
 
aww mine go through spells of random thumping at the same time every night for a few nights, then stop again. Bless her, that's so sad but also sweet that she has nightmares.
 
Mine thumped a bit more than normal last night too (not tonight - Fri/Sat night). I wonder if they could sense the burst of rain we had today.
 
What does the thumping mean?

My new boy does it a lot apparently.. although I have had him for 2 days now and he hasn't done it at all :/
 
It means they are unsettled and fearful about something. I think it's an instinct in them to warn other rabbits, though when mine do it the others all ignore the one thumping. :lol:
