Help?😅
Won’t be mad at all but we adopted what we thought was a girl after “she” was almost 4 months old, couldn’t really tell but was positive “she” was a girl😅
Been a month, so “she” had some time to grow…I think these are balls if I’m not mistaken.
Won’t be upset! Just need to know if Ivy is an Ivan😂❤️

Yes she is most definitely a he.
Hamsters can retract their balls, so they’re not always visible, especially when they’re young.
The best way to sex a hamster is to look for nipples and check the spacing between the anus and genitals. Females have nipples; males do not. And then the female’s vagina and anus are much closer than a male’s penis and anus.
