Here is the photo, courtesy of Crystal Chinchillas.



You can see the dark obvious pattern on his face. And it extends to the back, which shows good coverage and breeding. Can't see his paws, or the stripes would be visible. Of course, if the colour is too dark, the stripes would be hard to see.

Peace actually looks like a beige to me, but hetero or homo, you have to breed to find out. In actual truth, we cannot rely on looks to judge if a beige is hetero or homo. It's never 100% accurate. The best way to tell is to breed it. Unless its ancestors have been bred in a way to definitely produce a homo beige with the highest chances. Just still not 100% sure. Maybe 99% or so.

There are actually homo beiges that look dark, and hetero beiges that look light coloured. So cannot guarantee by looks alone.

My Chibi is a beige as well, but I dunno hetero or homo as I've never bred him. Ceres is a confirmed hetero beige as she was used for breeding by her previous owner.

Have you paired him up with a female? The easiest way to tell is to pair up with a pure standard grey girl. If you get beige in every single litter and not 1 single standard grey, then you'll know he is a homozygous beige.

If you get a standard grey kit at all, then he is a heterozygous beige.

I don't recall any other way. Best way to confirm is through breeding, cos the genes will alwiz come thru. Even when you ask other countries ppl, they'll also tell you that best way to confirm is thru breeding. You can wait till next time, when you have a std girl, then you check. No rush la, he still looks so cute what. Haha...

I seriously feel that peace is a hete beige.
Homo beiges are normally very very light in colour. They usually do not get freckles on their ears. Also, homo beiges have eyes with a unique iris. Very different from hete beige.
