Benjamin Bunny: I'm still so out of shape.
Peter Rabbit: How's it working with the putting the dressing on the side?
Benjamin Bunny: Good. But, I don't understand why it's healthier to drink it all at once. (00:31:00)
Question: How is it that Thomas can understand what the rabbits are saying as shown in the make-up scene and no other human can?
Answer: The humans can actually understand the rabbits. Because notice during the scene when Peter is about to put the carrot in the Old Mr. McGregor's pants, the rabbits are talking quietly, most likely so Mr. McGregor doesn't hear them. And then there aren't any other scenes where they talk at a normal volume, or talk at all around humans, except for at the end when Peter is apologizing to the young Mr. McGregor.

Answer: It's not clear if he actually can hear them or not. It's implied in the film that it's possibly stress or a mental break that is causing him to hallucinate their voices, or is suddenly thinking on a brain wave length that can understand them. If it's the former, it's coincidence that he hears similar to what Peter is actually saying. Either case explains why he suddenly can hear them when nobody else can around them despite them talking in front of people.
