The fur of the velvet black chinchilla is black, but it is not completely black. Its belly is white, its ears are dark gray, and the hair on its back is dark black, with black and shiny tips. In appearance, the velvet black chinchilla is lighter in black than the pure black chinchilla, with some graying, and the whole body is not as pure as the pure black chinchilla. There are obvious differences when placed together.

How to select velvet black chinchillas

1. Breeders should choose chinchillas with intact limbs and tails, which can reduce the difficulty of raising them. You also need to choose a cat with no abnormalities in the eyes, no eye droppings, and complete body hair without shedding, so as to ensure the health of the chinchilla.

2. Breeders should choose chinchillas that are relatives. There are very few chinchillas that are born relatives, which can greatly reduce the difficulty of domestication in the later stage.

3. Choose chinchillas that are 2-4 months old. This type of chinchilla has just been able to live independently and has a very high domestication rate, making it very suitable for novices to raise.

4. At the same price, you can choose a chinchilla with a relatively round body and a relatively large weight. This type of chinchilla has good gastrointestinal absorption and is prone to gills when reared later. You can also make a reference purchase based on the appearance of its parents, which can ensure that the basic conditions of the chinchilla will not be poor.
