Well, I'm better at preventing problems than treating them.
how many grams of feed do your chinchillas eat in 8 days? when you only have 8 days of pellets in the pack it's time to buy another one. if you don't find the same brand, buy another and make the following gradual introduction
5 days...
In my city it is not easy to find coconut. yesterday I found a box of organic coconut water with 1% fructose (it is the sugar found in fruit, it was in the box for standardization) and even less natural preservative (ascorbic acid, an important vitamin for chinchillas). Still, would it be a bad...
I already had a standard and a tov mosaic. I noticed that the mosaic is very docile, loves to be petted and when it leaves the cage it runs so much that it hits obstacles and likes to jump on the walls to take momentum. the standard is crazy about food, dislikes to be petted and is much calmer...
It can be difficult to identify tov characteristics in white specimens. maybe one parent has the tov gene, but that's not so obvious. but i can't tell if this pup is tov. maybe if you show some pictures of him younger it will be easier to see.
Ebony mosaic has some black hair on its belly. if it's a dark ebony the chinchilla stains can be black too. In an ebony mosaic, the white gene must appear somewhere, mixed with black hair or in the form of spots.
Hello! my chinchilla finally arrived. Seeing in person, I found it to be a white tov (no ebony). My curiosity was satisfied. thank you to those who helped me!
I can only answer one of your questions, sorry. Freckles in the ears are a typical feature of the heterozygous beige color (with or without mosaic). In the photo I only saw a part of the chinchilla, but it really looks like a heterozygous beige. Rest assured, they are just blemishes;)
