new chins
« on: September 25, 2014, 09:38:30 AM »
I husband really wanted a sapphire and Katsu's breeder wanted to get into hedgehogs.  We traded 2 for 2 and also got a violet.  I think I like the violet color better.  It's more interesting.

Sumi the violet female




And the sapphire male hasn't been named yet

The violet mutation has been around longer and has been much more well developed in terms of fur density and size. The sapphire mutation in general is not that great of a quality but can be improved when bred with the right animals. Congrats on your new chins. That was a great find.

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

The sapphire may just be eye candy.  I would like to breed Sumi but I don't have a suitable male that is not paired up at the moment
