Default Sexing help please!

So I've had this hammie for a while now and I never actually bothered checking because I specifically asked for a male when I was at the pet shop but now that I pay attention I'm sort of confused and I'm not so sure that I have a male in hands here..
I'll post a photo, if you can't tell by this one I'll try to get some more later, thank you

First of all how did you get your hamster to lie like that for the photo, it took me ages to try and get mine in a good position to check them
But from the picture it isn't very clear because of all the fluff. This helped me when sexing my dwarfs (who turned out to be males after they were "females").
Males have 2 "holes" down there and there's a fair space apart from them, the scent gland on their belly is more noticeable on males than females. Females have 2 holes, but they are more closer together and look more like one.

Here's a photo of one of my boys that I took when I needed help, there was a 100% agreement on here that they were males so this might help you. Also, if your hamster is quite young it might be hard to tell, I'd keep checking as the older they get the clearer it'll probably be as to whether you have a boy or a girl.

Oh god this is even more difficult than I thought haha but well, I'll keep on trying maybe get a better photo and if I can't really figure out I'll just post once more... this is complicated!
Well he or she has always loved to be in that position that's how he sleeps and he loves when you pet him even in the belly, he's really nice to me!

Aww that's adorable! Especially the part about petting him/her on the belly! how old are they?
And I'm not 100% sure but I'd be more inclined to say female rather than male

Does your hammie have a very noticeable scent gland on their belly?

Hmmm vents do look fairly close. I'm thinking female, especially with no real prominent testes at the back. But my screen is very small ATM and I'm not 100% confident when sexing dwarfs.

I've had this baby since June but I have no idea how old he/ she was when I got it from the pet shop..
I honestly don't know but I don't really think so, I don't think there's nothing there very noticeable to be honest.
I also have this syrian that I don't know if it's a male or a female.. God how come I have two hammies and I don't know this big detail for sure in any of them??

Yeah I can tell that this is actually a very hard chore to be done... and not even with my syrian I've been successful (at least so far)
