Sexing help please!

This is the playpen my dwarfs have, its just a large plastic storage box (the kind you'd use to make a bin cage) filled with the compressed wood shavings I use for the bottom of the cage then some of their bedding material in it, and of course lots of toilet roll tubes and toys

Also pleased to hear you've found out your hammie is a girl :3

Well that seems quite easy to do.. similar to my bin cage! I'll definitely work on a playpen it looks like fun for the little ones and also the ball for them to just run around the house I'm excited now haha

I would agree, female. I would recomend getting one size up for what they say is syrian and dwarf sized balls, its kind of the same deal as with their wheels. the diameters of the "dwarf" balls are only 5 inches! the syrian balls are 7, perfect for a dwarf. If your syrian is really small she MIGHT fit, but as it sounds like she has some growing to do, I would get the larger one as well

You think it's a female too? Well guess that we have a girl here then haha now I can't wait to know what my Syrian is even though it looked like a female also the first time I saw her but looks like it's easy to be wrong
I'll definitely check those sizes because today I saw one of those balls that was technically appropriate for Syrians but I've seen fully grown ones and I'm sure they wouldn't fit there!!

My dwarfs' exercise balls arrived today, they're a little on the small side but my hamsters still have plenty of room in them since my hamsters are still only young anyways so I'll be upgrading them to the next size up

[iqa]

Yeah and dwarfs don't usually grow that much so perhaps you don't even have to upgrade them later on.. I wish I'd find one of those balls that would suit both my hammies for their entire lives but I guess my dwarf wouldn't love to be on those big balls haha

[XRubyRoseX]

Well, I'd have a look at pet shops and online and have a look around for sizes. I found mine on ebay and mine simply said "dwarf hamster exercise ball", there's enough room in there for now so they should be okay for the near future in them.

[iqa]

I'll probably be getting mine tonight hopefully.. but would you suggest me getting separate balls? Like one smaller for my dwarf and a big one for my syrian?
Cause I'd love if they could just use the same one but I find that sort of difficult

I'll post another pic as soon as I can.. right now my hammie seems to really hate me and I can't get a decent one at least not at all better than that one right there
