Bred my rabbits for the first time! UPDATE!

[LittleFluffyBunnies]

I bred my Dwarf doe Galadriel to my Dwarf buck Gandalf on the 31st, so now today she is day 10. I'm super excited for the kits to arrive! I bred her in the evening, and I am pretty sure everything went according to plan. Since I bred her in the evening, should I expect babies on the morning of day 32? I'm not sure if timing will make her kindle in the night or something.
I tried palpating today, but couldn't feel anything yet. I will try again on day 12 or 14. Any advice on palpating? I watched several videos on YouTube trying to learn how to palpate, and there were several different methods, I am not sure which one to use, or which day is best for palpating. I am also kind of afraid of hurting her, but I have been told if I'm careful and don't do it too late, it won't harm her.

Is there any other way I can tell she is pregnant? Anything else I should know?
Thanks so much!

You can youtube palpating her and try to see if you can feel anything. I am not good at it. There are some signs to point towards pregnancy, but they are really inaccurate since rabbits can also have false pregnancies. Bottom line is it takes a lot of waiting. I know you will be anxious and hope you have a great outcome. Your RT friends are rooting for you! Keep us posted

If you have an accurate kitchen scale you can track her weight.

Today I palpated Galadriel, and I am pretty sure I felt some kits! I felt at least two soft balls along the sides of her stomach, which were not there before. I have palpated my buck and this doe when she was not pregnant, so I'm pretty sure it's not poop. I really hope I got it right!

Thanks a7736100, I am thinking of getting one.
