Phoenix-Park Cavies 

This is Leroy Brown and he is only a few weeks old

Chocolate:  These cavies are a difficult colour to get "just right" as the under colour often fades towards the skin.  Their colour should be a rich dark chocolate  colour of even shade all over.  The eyes are ruby and ears and pads are chocolate.

The genetics of chocolate are "bb" or homozygous brown.  This gene is recessive to B (Black) so in order to ensure 100% chocolates are produced chocolates should always be mated together.
