Mothers

Today I bred Blue Topaz again. She looked like she really enjoyed Yoda's company, so I left them together for about an hour. They were so cute nose to nose sitting together when I had to put Blue Topaz away. I may let her visit again in the morning.

I am recovering from the losses, but have heard from experts that this is what happens for first time, even second time Moms. It is odd to me, even if people say it is normal. I have other animals that birth with no problem. My nanny goat, first time mother, pushed out a big bony kid all by herself on a cold February morning. Cats have kittens with ease. Bella had her pups fine. It just seems odd. I had no impulse to stomp my babies or eat them at birth!

I need to do some reading on why this happens.
