    Okie dokie. I have agoutis with 'black' tails, (well, they're brown tails, but still). But as of now, I have never seen any ASFs with any black fur at all, only agouti, and variations of agouti. So it would be really great to see black ones.

    I'd love to take a look at 'em.
    Basically, unless someone catches one in the wild, it's gonna have to be a spontaneous mutation out of someone's stock.

    Looks like agouti (A/A), the parents and the medium light sibling look like they're cinnamon (A/A b/b) so that's why they're lighter. Then the one on the right with pink eyes is probably argente (A/A p/p).

    Agouti can look really dark if you're used to having cinnamons! But black would have no ticking in the fur, the hair shafts would be solid coloured. The only solid coloured hair on an ASF right now, is white. Agouti is a hair is stripped (called 'ticking') down the entire hair shaft with a mix of brown and black, it gives the 'wild' color appearance. Here's an image of an agouti rabbit, but it's the same concept, it shows the striping of different colours on the hair shafts
