By mid mating (13-15-th day after mating), the embryos reach the size of a cherry or hazelnut, and they can probe. To do this, the female take care of the withers, keeping the bottom, and placed on a flat surface of the head to his. Hold the female one hand on the sacrum, another sum under the rear of the abdomen and carefully through the abdominal wall overtures from both sides. Embryos are located near one another in a chain, have an oval shape, they are soft, elastic. Please be aware that balls of feces in the intestines, which can be mistaken for inexperience embryos, smaller than a cherry, are round and firm to the touch.
Rough, careless probing may lead to abortion, cause disease in animals, so this should be done very carefully.
