JF RABBITS: FOREMOST RABBIT BREEDER IN NIGERIA

  Checking for pregnancies in rabbits by feeling the stomach palpating a rabbit     Palpation is possible from 10 days and onwards after mating. Place the doe facing you on a table, a bench or the floor. Put both hands on the sides and a little under the belly, gently pressing them towards each other and upwards. Of course, you can feel a lot in the belly. Amongst others, right behind the left ribs you can feel the liver; all the way up in the abdomen on both sides and just under the spine, halfway back you will feel the kidneys.

I will discuss some of the reasons why a mother rabbit eat her babies in this post to help us understand why rabbits do this.
