How to Track Rabbit Milestones with This Chart
Find the row corresponding to your recorded mating date. The palpation column indicates the earliest window to confirm pregnancy by gently checking the lower abdomen for small, marble-like embryos. Nest box day (Day 28) is when clean wood shavings and soft straw must enter the hutch. If your doe reaches day 33 without giving birth, re-palpate carefully: false pregnancies (pseudopregnancy) are common when an induced ovulation occurs without successful fertilization.
