Girl or Boy hamster?

Question

Hello, I got a hamster about, 2-3 months ago and the pet stor people didn't see if it was a boy or girl. I thought it looked like a girl so i named it a girl name and every thing, But i was over at my friends for a visit and she had a boy long haired Teddy Brear Hamster thats a boy and my hamster who is a Short Haired Teddy Brear Hamster atacted him. I tryed to take them apart but but she\he held on. The hamsters both are OK but i'd really like to know if it's a she or a he thank you!

Answer 1

Most of the time hamsters that don't live together will fight even if they are the same or opposite s*x. Young hamsters don't have balls so you cant tell for sure if it is a young one. If you turn it upside down you will notice a private part near the tail both male and females will have this but if it is a boy hamster it will have a bell button a little above it. That is the proper way to s*x a hamster.

Answer 2

a boy would have balls

Answer 3

If you've had your hammy for that long it's surely sexually mature and if it is a male it's testicles will be quite noticeable.

Also I wouldn't suggest anymore play-dates with your yours and your friend's hamster.  Teddy bear hamsters, also known as Syrian hamsters are solitary and when adults are introduced to each other they will fight, sometimes to the death.

Answer 4

Flip it over and look between it's legs.

Answer 5

Sweetie, look at the back of the hamster, down where it's tail is...does it have a "big butt" as my 6 year old says...if it does, it's a male..if no "big butt" is there then it's a girl.

That "big butt" is it's testicles...females do not have those.

And another way to tell is: turn the hamster over in your hand, the the two holes on the hamster's underside will be wide apart if it's male, if they are close together it's female.

Good luck!
