What color is this kit?

[Sherry Elaine]

Mom is a white mosaic, and dad is a light ebony.
Thanks!

I'll take a stab at this one. If I'm wrong, guys, please correct me.

Your kit could either be a white mosaic or an ebony white. I don't know of any way of telling the difference for sure other than breeding the animal down the road and seeing what is produced. Because it comes from an ebony parent you should list her as a possible ebony carrier.

White ebonies and mosaics aren't able to be differentiated by phenotype only. You need to know what their background is to be completely sure. Because he/she has ebony in the background, I would call him/her a white ebony. You'd know for sure if you put it into breeding and an ebony popped out, that it was a white ebony. Or, if after I think its 50+ kits, an ebony still hasn't appeared, you can almost be certain it is a mosaic.

Green!

I've just always wanted to throw a random color out there - so you're today's winner.

By show standards, it's a mosaic. Other than that, ditto what Therese said.

A green chinchilla?
I wonder what that would look like! lol

 

[Sherry Elaine]

Wow, and green is super rare, right? Heh! Thanks guys.

Whatever you want to call him, he's GORGEOUS!!! You should post pictures of him every few weeks so we can watch how he changes (because I can guarantee you, he wont look the same in a month). CUUUUTE!

Ditto Mosaic or white eb. they are pretty much the same unless you are breeding. then the ebony part matters in the name

Well if dad is ebony then i would say white ebony.
Green is also exceptable tho.....
