What is the earliest and latest that you have

So this is day 10 of breeding bubbles and day 18 of breedin my other girls. I paplated the two last week and was sure I felt kits. I am curious as to whether I should palpate again or just wait now. As well as bubbles. It's only been 10 days since breeding. Any input would be awesome. I want to palpate bubbles so bad but at the same time I know I should be patient.

Day 14 is optimal for palpating, when it is easiest to distinguish the kits from internal organs.

I always do it on 14. I cant tell any other time. I think once I tried on day 10 and couldnt tell anything

I can't do it at all, thanks to my Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.

I'm sorry but this just made me laugh. I'm reading through expecting to see when the next person palpates and you said that and I am so sorry but I laughed out loud and everything! I just...wasn't expecting it! :')

At least I only have to wait around a month to find out if they're bred. LOL The only ones that I haven't had success with are my darn Polish and that Cher doe. Everyone else always catches, which is nice. But it would be super to be able to tell without waiting, for sure!

I used to be fairly decent at doing it form 14-20 days, but this past year for some reason I haven't felt a darn thing at all until day 27 or so- ie right before they are due. SO I just wait the time out now too. I wonder if it does have something to do with carpel tunnel I've had the onset of it for years(thanks to one of my jobs- at least I had therapy for it there) and I wonder if my wrists are just giving up a little at a time

I have it bad in both hands, and have had it for going on 17 years now. I don't have a lot of feeling in any of my fingers, and have to be especially careful with hot water. Or even the cold weather. If you have loss of feeling in your fingers, you'd have to really squish and mush things to feel babies. I'm worried I'll hurt them, so don't even try.
