Beige Sapphire Chinchillas

In 2014 I was curious and paired a Beige sc with a Beige sc as I had never seen a Beige Sapphire in person. It did make them slightly bluer but only under a show light. It also changed the look of their eyes.

I've recently been told by a couple of people that the chinchilla they had purchased was beige sapphire. Unless they have the odd split eyes, they are only sapphire carriers. It does not make any difference if they are your pet but if you are going to breed make sure you get a complete pedigree from the breeder when working with recessives.

This was the 2014 litter, L to R, Beige sc, Beige Sapphire and Homo Beige sc or Sapphire, I'm still not sure. He was sold to a pet home.


This is the lightest colored baby.



Sapphire makes the eyes very interesting. You do not see this in a beige sapphrie carrier.


This is the dam, a beige sapphire carrier. She took phase champion in the 2013 SEC FL show.



The brothers at 4.5 months old.


The Homo Beige sc/sapphire at 5 months old, he is very pale in color. He did not develop the nice conformation that is brother had so he went to a pet home.


Beige Sapphire at 6 months, Sapphire female at 9 months.


Beige Sapphire at 10 months old. The sapphrie makes the beige blue and smooth but not as nice and smooth as beige violet. He is turning out to be quite nice.
