Dat before yesterday The vet told Us that The doe is probably Not pregnant

today I see a lot of movement in the belly area

can this be her intestines?

Thanks! Regards Kim

Did the vet palapate?
Palpation or feeling for kits is not easy...even for a practiced breeder. Particularly day 18 to 25 the kits hide somehow then.
Not many vets are super experienced with rabbits....idk not saying your vet isn't. But I still say wait and see.

Feeling the abdomen of the rabbit, extremely gently, can give you more than one indication. The best thing to do is to have a vet palpate in the abdomen [source: Brown]. You will be able to feel tiny lumps like marbles in her uterus until the rabbit is in the second week of pregnancy.
