Aww! Thanks everybody! I really love my Indie Chin and I am so happy for the support and advice!
Jo Ann, I will definately have to look into those books! Perhaps I can check them out of the library.
He is such a sweet little guy, I don't know how I ever go so lucky getting him as a kit for free!!!!! At least I know he is a beige now, that is a start. I will wait a little longer and see what turns out!
Thanks everyone!

Hey Jo Ann! Thanks alot for taking the time to help me.

I should tell you, My chinchilla definately has the cloudy eyes like the homo beige picture that you attached. In fact, that is one of his bigger features. They are so clouded, they look blue beneath a soft pink. Does that have any effect on his eye sight by the way?

I think the lady I got Indie from doesn't really know much about chinchilla's, she just got them for her kids. Which is kind of sad. I know that they are both grey for sure, and both of his littermates came out the same as the parents. I am positive that the mother was not around another chinchilla, the father is a newer chin, I think it was when she introduced him that the female got pregnant.

Either way he is gorgeous, I am just afriad I am not taking care of him the right way because I keep getting different advice and mixed advice, and I know so little about Chinchillas as it is.

I have a chinchilla with a really unusual color (at least to me) and I can't figure out exactly what it is. His name is Indiana Jones (Indie Chin), he was born a few months ago to two standard grey pet store chinchilla's. His two litter mates were both standard grey, but he came out a different color. What I am thinking is Homo beige but can anyone give me a second opinon? He is tan-ish but his belly is white/grey under fur. The video link is a video I made of him playing on my bed for my friend to see. Also, I am new to owning a chin, can you give me some basic tips? I want a perfectly healthy well-raised chinchilla.
