Buy Black Velvet Chinchilla Online

Black Velvets are a gray chinchilla with the ToV or Touch of Velvet gene. Sometimes they are born with a little black around the nose and sometimes they have a full veil. The veiling may take up to 2 years to fully develop. The TOV gene adds a black veil and in some cases a different texture to the fur. Bellies and the underside of the jaw should be pure white and there should be no break in the veil from nose to tail. A break in the veil at the neck is called a halo.

Buy Sapphire Chinchilla Online

Sapphire is a dilute gene on a standard gray chinchilla. It makes the fur shaft clear so the bluer the chinchilla the bluer the sapphire appears. Sapphire is also a recessive, both parents must carry the genes to have a sapphire baby. Sapphires can be distinguished from Blue Diamonds by the presence of barring in the fur. The barring makes Sapphire appear speckled in poorly barred chins. Over the last decade I have been working tirelessly to create a smooth looking blue sapphire and have come a long way towards that goal. There will be no black anywhere on a sapphire, if yours has a black stripe up the bottom of the tail you likely have a light standard gray.
