New chocolate chinchilla buck


This is my new chocolate chinchilla buck from  Athens Angoras. He is as yet unnamed, although my husband insists his name is "Spike".(UPDATE:  He is Athens Spikenard)

 He is 9 weeks old. His sire is Somerhill Shane (chin) and dam is Athens Kiwi (choc self chin). She is by Somerhill Maxwell.
