How do I know if she is Pregenant

[aaronzclark]

Well I have a 9 month old pygmy doe and a 9 month old pygmy buck and he has been riding her for a while but I can't tell if she is preggo or not she does have a belly but it is not one of those the look like they are gonna pop. She does lay around a lot but she can be just as playful at the same time so i don't know what do you think how can i tell

Feel her right side. You will be able to feel the baby for the last two to three months of pregnancy.
Males will ride females often whether or not they are in heat. Females flag males when they are in season, and gestation is five months. If your female is not coming into heat every three weeks then she is pregnant. You could always see your vet if you aren't sure.

You will know when she's pushing. I rarely can feel a fetus until the last three weeks. You can send blood to BioTracking...or just wait it out.

Just a word of caution, she is a bit young for a Pygmy especially (Pygmies are terribly prone to birthing issues, anyway)...so be ready to assist if needed when she does kid.

yep what kate said.

most of the time, I cant feel definitively a kid on the right side. only very occasionally, and only the last 2 - 3 wks.

size of belly is no indication.

if she stops coming in heat, or she starts pushing and legs poke out, you know she's pregnant

but seriously, if you truly want to know have a blood test or ultrasound done
