When the kits were first born, we supposed that we had four coloreds and seven REWs. Among the coloreds, we knew we had one self-black.

We assumed we had three agoutis. However, two of the supposed agoutis do not have any tan, only black and white. The last of the supposed coloreds is a definite chestnut agouti. The two black and whites look to us like chinchillas, but we really are not sure. PB does not show any chinchilla dark gene in his pedigree, only full-color progenitors. So that makes us hesitant to state that these two kits are chinchillas.

Now onto the "REWs". Within two days, two of the "REWs" began to color. We still aren't sure, but they are either oranges or fawns.

One of the four remaining REWs started to show a little color on his nose, feet, ears, and tail. My mom started thinking that he could be a cream, and that all of them could be creams. Charlotte said Mom was delusional and that they were all REWs. We wouldn't find out for sure until their eyes opened. Charlotte was sure she was right.

And then their eyes opened. Mom won. They look like pearls, which would fit very well with the other two unknown colors being chinchillas. Regardless, they are definitely not REWs.
