Default Sexing dwarf hamsters

Uh.... I have a dwarf and a Syrian hamster. The syrian Tubby is a boy since the dots are like 1 cm apart. But the dwarf which i don't have a name for yet is still unknown gendered. She/he bites and nips so I have a hard tip turning it to see the underside( I did see it but I could tell no difference from girl or boy) so does any one know how to tell the difference without rubbing a hamster's underside? I don't want to risk getting bitten.

Try putting him/her in a transparent tupperware container and taking a picture of the bottom.

Yelled at? Did you ask your mom to hold the container or something? Oh dear...can you hold the container with one hand and take the pic with the other so she doesn't need to be involved?

Uh no, she screamed at me for trying to use a container saying something about germs but I ignored her half way through the sentence " you can't use th..." . And I can't find any clear plastic containers in my room,....

What about glass? It's a little colder on the feet but there may be something in the recycling bin, an old jar perhaps? Good luck!

What will you be doing with your hams when you move? You're going to be moving very close to where I am actually, so I may be able to help out once you're back in the frozen north.

How old? I can see a slight indent where the scent gland would be but the genitals themselves are close. Both my SO and I think female because of lack of testes but if the ham is young they at just not be present yet.
