Need help identifying a 2 week old kits color

[mewlingcricket]

Two weeks ago my Sable Point Marten VM LH Doe had a litter with my BEW LH Buck. They had 2 BEWs (my rabbitry' 1st---yeah!!!), 1 sable point marten-vm (blue eyes), and an adorable cutie that I just can't figure out. He is definately a VM which makes it harder...any guesses???????

Thanks

I'm not sure, but he's gorgeous! I'm not sure he's a VM though, wouldn't they have white on them? He reminds me of a blue silver marten

I dont' know but... It looks like a Chin. But Im not good with colors!

His two back feet are completely white like he is wearing little boots

I agree with Chinchilla or Squirrel, which is a blue chinchilla. Very cute baby

looks a lot like our Peter--Chinchilla. But a little more time and new pics may tell more.

I've been doing some looking around, and I think you guys are right that it might be an chin. It never crossed my mind as I can't find reference to chin being in either of the parents backgrounds....weird, but still very cool. I guess he/she will end up being a chin vm. (blue eyes and white feet, a real cutie though) Thanks for the help!

Just wired when these colors come out of no where! My aunt is having all kinds of different color babies without been on the pedigree!

 

[lelanatty]

Are there any agouti colors in the background, like chestnut?

 

[mewlingcricket]

Mom is showing only Sable Point, Sable Point Marten VM, and BEW, dad is showing only BEW, Black, and Black VM. Really cool though, obviously it was hidden somewhere, just didn't make the pedigree. Too cool.

Okay everyone, dumb question of the day :embarrassed:What color bellies are chins supposed to have? I ask because this little guy has a white/creamy tummy. Before he started getting the crazy fur, I had thought he was going to be a vm black marten, becasue he had the light belly, black body, and a white streak down his forehead. Then as his/her fur came in the belly stayed creamy, the back paws went white, he lost the forhead stripe and ended up with the black and white pattern across his back. Based on all the pics of chinchillas I have seen, I have no doubt that he is most likely a Chinchilla, but I am trying to figure out if they have the white belly or if he is mismarked (due to the vienna gene) still learning so bare with me please.

Thanks:big wink:

Our Peter is most definitely white on his belly. We also had a mini-rex Chin and he was white on his belly.

Crazy colors can pop up. I had a broken Chin out of a Tri and a Broken Black Otter mini rex. Chin not in either ped.
