Chinchilla Chateau
I had a pure standard pair (extra dark standard female x dark standard male) just litter today and among the two kits is one very light gray kit with nearly no veiling. This pair has had two litters in the past, all born very dark at birth with heavy veiling over the back. The sire also has only had very dark kits born to litters with his other mates (also standard females)
This baby is very light and I've never had a standard kit born with such little veiling. It's odd. She also is very thin with a long skinny tail and seems to have some trouble with control of her back legs. Once she has them under her, she kind of hobbles along, but she is quite wobbly.
So here's a picture of her and her sister. She was born at 43 g and the sister was born at 54 g.
Any thoughts? Has anyone had a kit born with little veiling? Is it likely to come in over time?
