Color Changing

[Gabby88]

How much color changing have your chins done since they were kits? I'd love to see some pictures of how different your chin looks from when they were young compared to how they look now.

Momo used to have pretty dark markings, and as she's gotten older, they've faded almost completely.

First photo the breeder sent me

Next photos the breeder sent me. She's looking lighter already. (not to mention that's she's greasy and outside *sigh*)

And this picture was taken a week ago. Notice how much lighter she got!! (and how much prettier she is since I've been taking care of her)

And this photo was taken yesterday. She's almost completely white now.

And Yuki is the opposite! Her markings are getting darker.

The first two pictures were posted by Latte's breeder in another thread:

The day she was born (pretty sure she's one of the middle 4)

3 weeks old (she's the one being mounted)

Almost 6 months old

It is just amazing watching the whites grow and change

I never knew chin's colors could change so much as they grow.

We've got a few babies that changed significantly, I love before and after pictures!

It's not just whites. I love black kits because they have just smudgy faces. Then they get their back veiling in.

Sycamore, wow! What big differences! I'm also amazed at how huge they are. Haha!

Mishalaa, I really, really want a black chinchilla!

It is amazing how whites change, here's a pic of a very dark ebony white baby that I had born and her color has faded quite a bit, but she still has a bit of a dark face

When she was born:

and when she was about a month old, I think

And this one is one of the most recent I have, maybe about 1 month or 2 ago, I think

I love your silver chin, it looks almost like a very light standard, I really like it, but it is a white and he sorts of go like this at you :tease:

Mine was quite the opposite

When I got him he was completely pink white maybe justa tiny touch of grey tipping on his for head

As he got older it got bigger and darker and black circle stripe on his tail
That use to be at the base now moved down his tail

@_@ maybe he's not q pink white after all
