Cool male or female?

Hi everyone

iv had many hamsters when i was young but now iv just bought one for my little boy. (think i was more excited than him haha)

The pet shop told me it was a 6 week old girl.

so when we brought "pig" (she squealed alot when moving her to her cage)
home she seemed to have balls. I thought the pet shop would of seen these before telling me she was a girl?
we got her yesterday
im not sure so please take a look and set me straight on girl or boy?

also

thanks

That is a male hamster there
It might be best to tell the pet shop they have sexed him wrongly in case they have mixed sex groups in the cages in the store which could result in pregnancy.
I'm sure your son will be happy with a little boy anyway

Yup, here's hoping you just got a pet shop person who gets males and females the wrong way around (they do exist, once we were told by a pet shop person all about the females rear ends bulging out while the males are much flatter... We didn't comment lol)
