I say the easiest way to tell is to just wait. I had an experienced friend come over, and palpate one of my does, and neither of us felt anything. Three days later, that same doe kindled 8 babies. So, even palpation isn't always right. The best way to find out, is to just wait. As someone said earlier, if you feel there are any suspicious signs, such as digging or haystacheing, put in a box. The worst than can happen, is that you're wrong. If you see signs, and don't give her a box, because you think she isn't pregnant, you're liable to lose the whole litter. And, speaking from experience, put her in a baby safe cage. Make sure the wire is small enough that a baby's head can't fit through. I was never told this, and lost that entire litter of 8, at just under 2 weeks old. Their eyes were all but open. So, if you think a doe is pregnant, even if it were only one fall off, put a box in. I have does that do things last minute, and NEVER show any signs. They are my ones that usually only have one fall off. I'm not very experienced, but I can tell you what has, and hasn't worked with me. Good luck. :roll:
