I'm a programmer not a chinchilla breeder. I learn by asking questions just like you.

sorry I meant    EBONY CHINCHILLAS


Grey ears, black eyes.  The ebony color is accumulative so if you breed a light ebony to another ebony the offspring can be born darker and if those offspring are bred to another ebony even darker chinchilla babies can result.  When trying to breed for an extra dark ebony you will need to start with large animals and eventually breed back to standards to keep the health, vigor and size in your ebony line.  The ebony gene causes the color to wrap around the body making the belly darker instead of white.

No problem just never heard the term before  ;)
My best ebonies come from an extra dark dame and a good standard sire. ::nod::
