Quick Look

This variety should resemble the colour of Silver Agouti cavy. The silver cast should be bright and clear and not bronzed in the slightest degree. This variety was produced by crossing Agouti to Chinchilla and it resembles the Chinchilla except that the belly is not white but silvery grey. When breeding Silver Agouti never use mice with white bellies and select for the brightest silver tops. This colour is genetically Chinchillated Agouti.
