What color is he?
« on: February 01, 2011, 06:53:42 PM »

My new chinchilla is a pet store chin as the breeder I was going to adopt from seemed to have fallen off the face of the earth and refused to return my phone calls.

Being a pet store chin I have no idea what his background is, what his genetics are like and I have a vet appointment schedules to check his overall health.

But I'd like to know what color you guys think he might be. He was marked as a violet at the pet store but his color is VERY diluted and he doesn't really look like the pictures of violets that I've seen.


He also has a white belly.



Based on the descriptions and the pictures on this page

my best guess would be diluted hetero beige but I have noooooo idea.

Thanks that's what I thought. He's got the speckles on his ears just like the Hetero beige description says.
