Default Is this definitely a girl?

Can someone please confirm that this is definitely a girl? It's one of 2 chinese hamsters which I thought were both boys but it turns out they are girls, or at least i think they are. The other one definitely is but I just want confirmation that this one is too

You can't tell from the photos provided. Any pictures available of the underside of the ham

Chinese are pretty easy to tell apart as adult males have enormous testicles. They show very prominently from about 8 weeks so as long as this one is older than that, she's a female!

It's still worth checking underneath though as a male with undescended testicles looks exactly like a female from above AbiJ posted pics of the underside of both in her other thread and both looked like girls there though

Actually the pics I posted in the other thread were both of the other hamster, that's why I thought I'd better try and get an opinion on this one too as I noticed a slight bulge at the tail, I'm pretty sure if it was male the bulge would be huge though wouldn't it? I will try and get an underneath pic of this one when they wake up.
