Is there a reason why they thump

excessively?

My 2 do it occasionally when i disturb them and they get their knickers in a twist over something.

But Marley has been doing it on and off since yesterday morning. He woke my dad up last night! He wasnt impressed :lol:
 
My mum reckons she has a ghost, always has since she moved to that house, she used to doggy sit for a friend and the dogs used to stare at the ceiling in one corner or the living room and bark. Rubens and Dilbert do it now and stamp their feet so i assume that they can sense something's there.

Other than that mine usually do it when they think it's dinner time.

We definitley havent got a ghost lol. My mum can sense them for a start and she did a cleansing a few years ago.
 
They are annoyed sometimes when they thump. I.e if picked up sunny will thump when i put him down afterwards.

Also if there is danger in the area- a cat, fox etc, dogs. I used to hear them thumping outside together- all 13 of them - makes quite a noise.

Bunnys annoyed with their bonded partner chasing etc. They may thump.

Can't think of any other reasons right now :)
 
Apart from the reasons already stated, maybe they had bad dreams? Sometimes my bun will thump on and off all night. He'll drift off for a few minutes, then thump and wake himself up, then drift off etc
 
Tilly had me up at 2 am this morning with her thumping :roll: Some snow /ice had slid off the roof and upset her :lol: othertimes when either have been thumping I have'nt found any reason for it (They are indoor buns) :?

This could be the reason for all his noise then! :lol:

The snow is slowly melting now and as it comes off the roof, it sounds like an avelanche! Probably why.

:lol: Silly bunny. I love them being indoors, you see so much more of their behaviour. Ive heard them thump before, though. I just wondered why they did it other than in annoyance.
