Default is this a normal thing?

OK so I have never owned a hamster before and so when looking on you tube i have never seen a hamster have this certain thing before i hope this isn't inappropriate or anything i just want to know if this isn't anything i need to watch out for. Anyways my hamster milo has something on his backside that i have never seen before on a hamster but he is my first so i just wanted to know what this was and so ill add photos to this thread to show you what it is. He is a boy so maybe that has something to do with it my boyfriend thinks its his boy parts but i just want to make sure. also hope this wasn't too repetitive and thank you in advance

I own a girl hamster so I cant answer for sure, but I used to own mice and the guys all had something that looked similar, so probably guy parts

Looks quite normal for a male as far as I can see.

He's pretty much identical to my Tim E. Bear. LOL They can carry quite a package for such little fluffs. You will notice they become more prominent when they are warm. They can also pop out of the sack if they get hot, so don't panic. It will look like a small red ball.

The things you learn with hams!
