First time mother Blue Topaz.

I had all but given up that Topaz was going to kindle, when I did my morning check of the nest, I found two dead kits and two kit heads. It looks to me that she stomped her poor babies.

Blue Topaz was difficult to breed and she is difficult to handle. I had a feeling she might not do well as she is such a nervous rabbit. She even tries to bite and box me when I go into her cage to feed her.

She is much different than Tahoe, who is the epitome of a sweet and loving rabbit. I am thankful for her. She is doing well with her kits, everybody seems well fed and all things are calm in the nest. A couple more days and the babies will have their eyes open!

A drastic difference in the same atmosphere.
