I palpated my first rabbit today. She should be 2 weeks pregnant. I think I can feel one small grape sized something in there, but I'm not even sure I'm feeling in the right spot. Is there a diagram somewhere that shows you where to feel. I thought I saw a picture where someone had butchered a rabbit that had 2 week old kits in her and you could see where they were in the body cavity.
 
Feel up by the ribs, slowly work your way down. You want to massage the area, gritty is poop, smooth is embryos.
