Hoppinchins Chinchilla Pics
« on: January 04, 2009, 08:56:19 AM »

Here are pics of Hoppinchins Chinchillas.

If I am correct, the names are Poco and Snowie.

I think I had read a thread that they were standard gray and a white.  I do not think Snowie is a white...looks like a beige (please correct me if I'm wrong)

Cute chins!
Poco

Snowie

Yes, Snowie does look like a very light beige, possibly a homo beige, but it could also be the lighting.  Hoppinchins, is the color in the picture pretty accurate or is Snowie lighter than the photo shows?

Thanks soo much for posting the pictures for me!  :) Its Pogo and snowie. But poco is close.. Whats the different between a white and a beige? The color of snowie is pretty accurate. He does seem to look a little different in different lights. I have one picture of him where he does look pretty white, but I think most of the pictures he looks like the one that is posted. He does have a little but of gray on him. The pet store that I got him from just called him 'fancy'.

I found a website and according to this website, http://www.the-white-pages-of-chinchilla-pictures.com/colors-of-chinchillas/ it looks like I have a pink white chinchilla. These are the 3 pictures from the website.







I think these pictures look a lot like the ones I posted of snowie.

He's not a pink white, he looks like a light beige.

A homo beige is both parents were beige, (A pure beige), I only have hetero beiges.

Glad you got the pics working  ;)

The different between beige and white is just that a beige is brown/beige and a white is white.

They are both cuties!

I would agree he is a beige of some sort.  I can't tell from the pictures what his eyes look like.  The best way to tell a homo beige from a hetero beige is to look at the eyes.  A homo beige chinchilla's eyes are usually lighter red, almost pink, and have a whitish ring around the iris, a hetero beige chinchilla will usually have darker red eyes with no ring.

Abby, thanks for clearing that up, I don't really deal with many beiges, I have had a few beige rescues but none in my breeding program so I'm not that 'expereinced' with beiges, but do know one when I see one.  :)

 ::silly::  Pictures can be VERY deceiving!  The surroundings and the type of lighting can really change the appearance of the color of the subject in the picture.

A 'white' is any chinchilla that has white on it anywhere, other than just on it's belly. 
Check out the pictures @ : http://www.luvnchins.com/2007MCBANationalP2.html  3rd picture on the right side in the section entitled "What might the chinchillas be thinking at this point?"    To be positive, the judges looked up, in the rule book, for the proper category of the chin on the left.

A white mosaic has white fur with some gray markings, dark ears and dark pads on it's feet.

A beige can be varring shades of beige, has pink ears and pink pads on it's feet

A "pink white" is technically a white beige cross.  It is both white and beige. 
A "pink white" has pink ears and pink pads on it's feet (from the beige in it's background) and white fur (from the white mosaic in it's background).

A hetero beige can have beige fur from the lightest shades to the darkest shades of beige.

A homo beige is usually a very light beige and has light pink eyes with a milky fog around the iris of the eye. 
Below is a picture I took of one of my homo beige's eye for an article in the Chinchilla Club Magazine.

I'll have to take a closer look at my chin. I think according to Jo Ann, my chin is a pink white. Thats what I thought he was. His fur has white and gray in it. He does have pink pads and ears and his eyes are pink also. Thats a really good picture of your chins eye. I'm sure that took some time to take.
