Question
how do you know if your hamster a girl or a boy

Answer
Hi Devanta,

    If you look at the hamsters tummy down at their private area, A male will have 2 holes that are far apart
( .  . ), you also may see two lumps (depends how old they are), one on each side of his anus, which are his testicles.
    A female will have 2 holes also, but they are very close together ( .. ), it may even appear like there is only 1 hole.
    If you have anymore question, please write again.

Thank you for writing!
