Why did Zedd and Rita abandon Thrax?

It was very odd how Thrax was supposed to be to son of Rita and Zedd...Yet he was supposed to be trapped in a dumpster since the Dinosuar Era.

Well, we do know Rita came out of the dumpster one year before Zedd arrived. At that time it seemed he was already her superior, which means it's likely he was already her superior before she was put in the dumpster, which was 10 thousand years before she was released. Now, of course dinosaurs go back way before then, but I'm not sure that's true for the Power Rangers universe as well. And even if it does, it might be Rita and Zedd have known each other since the time of the dinosaurs. I don't recall everything said in those episode exactly, but it could be Thrax was a child out of wedlock from back then, which means it wasn't because of love either, or their love had been lost long since. It could be Rita and Zedd were in some kind of relationship when they were very young, but then grew apart when Zedd got promoted to her superior, as a lot can happen in millions of years.
