At that age its hard to go by the scent gland, although it will be a little more noticeable on the boy. As they get older, the scent gland is very prominent on the male, but not so much on the female. An adult male will normally have a greasy yellow-tinged belly from his gland.

From the pic, although hard to tell, I'm also swaying towards male.

I'm going to try again when they're awake, just because both of my little hammies have the scent glands on their bellies, but after watching videos there's been female baby dwarfs with the scent gland also.

Yes - all of them have scent glands, they're just more prominent on males.

Phew pleased that's sorted, just as long as they're both the same sex and there will be no more baby hamsters that is fine by me! But I think they're boys too, I'll just have to keep checking on them as they get older to make sure they actually are boys lol
