Silver ~ Another of the chinchillas considered in the grouping listed as white chinchillas. The beautiful Silver Chinchilla, according to the "ole timers", is evenly tipped in silver with the middle half of the fur being white and the base being gray. It is said, for it to be a "true silver" you can blow on the fur on any part of the body and the gray fur base can be seen. If any part of the base of the fur is not gray it would not be considered a "True Silver". ( http://www.luvnchins.com/photo.html )
