Could you all help with Chin colors?

I just adopted 3 chinchilla's from my local pound, and i am not definite on the colors. I have only had standard Grey chins before. I had taken the mosaic male, but went back because i really like the females too.

This is Vala. She is pregnant, but i am not sure who the father is or what color.

This is Teyla. She is possibly related to Vala, but i have no idea. They get along really well too. Teyla had a baby at the pound before i got her, but it died, and she is now low on calcium.

Here is a pic of both of them together. I think they are both beigh, but not very familiar with the color so wanted to make sure.

This is Malakai. He is a gorgeous male i adopted. I think a silver mosaic, but not definite. If anyone can help that would be great.

The girls appear to be hetero beige. The male is a white mosaic. It's possible that his genotype is also ebony or tov. There is no way to tell except to bred him and he produces offspring with those genes. Of course you don't want to breed him because you don't know his background. He looks like he will be handsome after a few dust baths.

Vala and Tayla (stargate fan by any chance?) look like Hetero Beige to me. Malakai looks mosaic.

I checked and they all look cute.
Good luck and congrats with the new additions.

I was thinking hetero beige too, but wasn't definite if that was right. Yes, they need dust baths because they really didn't know what they are doing. I have been telling them ways to take care of them better until they all find homes. Thank you!

Yup! Stargate fan. I like using different names for my chins. Thanks again!

Vala was impregnated by a standard or mosaic. Those are the only color males i saw there, but not sure if she was with any other color before hand or there was anther color before i went. they said someone from a pet store said that someone dropped them all off. Not sure if that is true or not, but all the females were pregnant. She is the only one that was most like just pregnant. She is a small girl too, i hope she can give birth without any complications.
