Answer
hi sarah,
great question!

there's nothing to worry about here. your hammy is literally just cooling them off!
normally male hamsters keep their balls tucked away but if they get a bit warm, they let them hang out for an airing!
it does look a bit strange i agree but after keeping 4 male hamsters in my time i know what hamster balls look like! :)

hope this helps,
thanks for your question, jewel
