worried about my 2 boys

[eeyore21uk]

Hello people

Last night the 2 boys got up fine and saw them running the wheel together and thought it was very sweet. I did place my hand in there with a treat to see how they would react and they didn't seem to mind but didn't have the confidence to climb onto my hand and get the treats. Tonight one got up for something to eat and drink I have suspicion he is now a she cos I couldn't see any balls unless they are quite small as the other one has large ones and quite clearly a male! The one that came out tonight went back to bed in the small house what they both share. about 10 mins later I heard squeaking and scuffling. I couldn't see anything what really happened cos it was in the house, but it was quite clear they had a minor scuffle and for now they are at peace. I have now decided to get another cage on Wednesday and separate them. I didn't want to separate them but since I have suspicions that Spongebob has no balls and they both had a minor fight,I'll have to.

I think that is the right thing to do. With chinese hamsters they tend to be quite well endowed so its easy to see if they are male, from what you have said I think that your suspicions are correct and that Spongebob is actually a girl.

Separate them ASAP and bear in mind that she could already be pregnant, look out for the usual signs - nest making, eating more, more noticeable nipples, as well as a larger tummy. Hopefully she isnt, but just be aware that she could be.
