How do you know if a hamster is male or female?

In: Hamsters

[Edit]

the distance between the to holes on the belly of male hamsters is farther then on a female

Answer

When you examine the lower belly of the hamster you should be able to identify two openings. The one closest to the tail is the anal opening, and the one higher up is the sexual opening. There will be a greater distance between the two holes if it is a male than there will be if it is a female. Different breeds are slightly different. If it is a male, you may also notice a scent gland higher up on the tummy than the openings, and sometimes even a scrotal bulge near the tail.

Other Answer

This works with almost all rodents, if you look under a male's tail you will see his testacles, which look like a little pink butt. A female does not have this. Only works on I guess adults, idk about the babies.
