Question Agouti?

Agnes had 2 babies yesterday morning. One seems to be a silver Agouti, but they also have a buff like color mixed in on their belly. I've tried looking up Agoutis online with not much luck. It's probably just a regular Silver Agouti type right? I've never seen one in person before...she/he is beautiful. Their sibling is cute also! It's black and orange, with a small patch of white on the back of it's neck.

Does anyone know much about Agouti colorings?

Re: Agouti?

There are many agoutis
Lemon Agoutis
Silver Agoutis
Dark Lemon Agoutis
Golden Agoutis
Salmon Agoutis

With Agoutis every hair has the bottom and the tip the same color, with the middle being a contrasting color. Silver Agouti's have a white underbelly.

Re: Agouti?

I dont have any pictures yet, but here's a link to picture that looks like the baby...

[size=2]http://www.cavycottage.com/cavy/agouti-baby.html

[/size]I know that page says it's a silver agouti, but Maude (the cavy) has light gray ears, and a little white/buff coloring too. I'm working on getting a roll of film finish so that I can get pictures. I should have them by the end of the week.
