Hello,
We're looking at buying a chinchilla mini lop for my son for 4H.
I hear that they are judged harder, they have to have a curtain amount of color bands, etc... but I don't know much more and am striking out on google searches.

So excited! Can't wait to see them mature, too!<br /><br />__________ Mon Jan 06, 2014 7:11 pm __________<br /><br />What's the difference between blue otter and opal?

I apologize - the pictures are not the greatest. DH was in charge of photos and they were a little jumpy so I wasn't feeling comfortable opening up my hand much more than they are ...
I'm trying to be quick with them, so mama isn't too stressed out.
I think it's just the lighting, but I'll check again today more closely when I handle them.
I also thought the 2nd from the left looked like it might have a slight lighter blaze between it's ears, but may also be the...
