<<I just had her out and checked the undercoat and it
is grayish. I fluffed the fur against the grain and
there is definitely a color difference there. Is that
what you are talking about? Then she is an argente
golden? Susan>>
I'm pretty sure that's what she meant.
I have an argente cream male and a red fox male
(prolly light red fox) together and when the lights
are dim, they look almost identical in coloring. I
also have a light yellow fox female (in a different
cage) and a DEH male. the colors are very close. But
the argentes definitely has a gray undercoat where
neither the red fox or the yellow fox has that. and
like Elizbathe said, the yellow fox has white around
the eyes where an argente doesn't. the colors are
kinda close though so I can see where it'd be easy to
confuse them! :) sometimes I get my boys mixed up if
I'm not right next to the cage with my nose to the
glass!
i'm assuming that if agrentes and red fox are similar
in color, if my two are that close and I KNOW that
ones a cream . . .then the other is prolly a light red
fox, rather than a red fox. the genes are there for
it since his mum is the light yellow fox. go figure.
lean something new every day. :)
