Hiya,
It is very difficult to sex Roborovskis who are under 4 months old because they are still so small and are still developing. Both sexes have scent glands but the males is usually much more visible - this will be a yellowish stain where the belly button should be.
Females will have visible teats but they can be hard to see under the fur. The two openings are very close together on the female and usually so close that they look like one opening.
On the male the two openings are much futher apart but the gap is usually bigger as they get older. Also, if you hold him by the skin on the back of his neck, his testicles will drop and may be more visible - showing that he is a male.
If you are still having problems then you can apply gentle pressure on both sides of the openings with two fingers (one finger by each back leg - with the openings inbetween the two fingers) On the male the penis should pop out - this can take some practice though so just be patient.
Hope this helps.
