Question
I need to know how to tell if my dwarf hamster is a girl or a boy. I thought it was a girl but I saw another hamster who was male and looked the same

Answer
Hi Jen,

With males, you'll notice a protruding rear end because of the testicles.  Here's a link to a site with pictures:

Have a great weekend!
