sexing dwarf hamster babies

Question
Our four unexpected babies are two weeks old. We don't know how to tell male from female and would appreciate any tricks before we have four hundred!

Answer
Hi,

Once you get used to doing it, it's quite easy. If you already have a adult male and female, compare them to help you. Females will have two holes very close together sometimes looking as one and males have two holes that are far apart. It might help if you compare the babies against each other and put ones that look similar together. As they get older it's easier to tell them apart. Good luck!
