What color is your chin? Some lighter colored chins have red eyes and some have pink eyes. I have a pink white that has very dark red eyes. You can only see that they are red in sunlight, otherwise they look black.
I would say the purplish tinge is probably normal.
Purple eyes? Wow! I like that!
My new light sapphire wrap girl has a bit of blue-tone in her eyes.
Oh, I don't know much about chinchillas, but just wanted to share. Have a nice day!
Chins can have ruby eyes, which can range from pinkish to a very dark red (almost looks black). They can also have black eyes, of course, and there is a recessive trait for blue eyes. It's probable that your chin has very dark ruby eyes. What color is he/she?
I have been told he was a Homo beige and a Hetero beige, lol! He was a rescue so I don't have any info on him other than age. By looking at photo's I think he is a hetero beige. His eyes are a mix of dark brown/purple, in the naturel light anyhow. In photo's they just look dark or will sometimes go red.
My tan boy has eyes like that. You can only see it in a certain light. most of the time they just look dark ruby but once in a while they look dark purple/maroon.
That looks like a hetero-beige to me. Homo-beige chins are very light in color, tend to have very pale red eyes (almost pink) with a whitish ring around the iris.
