Is the doe pregnant? Check pregnancy with the palpation method

Palpation method. On day 12 after the doe is mated, grasp the fur at the nape of the rabbit's neck and both ears with the left hand, with the head facing you, and secure the doe properly on the table. Spread the right hand in a "V" shape and gently feel along the abdominal wall from front to back. If the abdomen is soft like cotton, she is not pregnant. If you feel round, slippery fleshy balls about the size of a peanut, evenly arranged along both sides of the rear abdomen, it means she has conceived. Note that the movements must be gentle and slow; do not pinch or count the embryos with your fingers, as this may cause miscarriage or stillbirth. Second, carry out the check in the morning on an empty stomach. At 12 days the embryos are about the size of a peanut, at 18 days about the size of a small walnut, and at 25 days you can feel the formed young rabbits.
