Males
I actually laughed quite nervously looking at this remembering the fun I had sexing Muffin (who pretended to be female for a while) but I'm pleased to say that those seemed quite easily sexed to me

And both are utterly adorable. I know I won't be the only one wanting more pics and names when you can get them

Adorable boys, the second is trying to be difficult by having a slightly smaller spacing so as to make you wonder whether you have one of each

In a few weeks I will be sexing some four weeks olds which is always fun!

As they're young the scent glands haven't appeared just yet, also their testes will drop and be obvious leaving you in no doubt as to what sex they are

Only females have nipples right?

Oh dear - someone remind me never to try and sex hamsters ... I first thought one boy and one girl, then I thought they were both girls, then boys, then I couldn't decide!

Yeah only females have nipples, and I'm glad Pompompoms agreed with me. Ever since Muffin kindly pretended to be female (his gap was much smaller than even your second ham) I've been quite nervous when it comes to trying to sex robos. Figure I'm getting better at it though, and have learnt a lot from the shock Muffin gave us when we realised she was a he lol

And Pinkneon, if you look at Belles underside you'll see that girls have a tiny gap between their openings. Tiny, tiny gap. Then if you look at these boys you'll see that there are bigger gaps on boys

Ok, if that is the case you need to check very carefully to see if there are nipples as you don't want one of each sex!

None of my females have spacing as far apart as your ham with the closer spacing, it's very very unlikely but not impossible. I have boys with closer spacing that I have questioned, so it's better to be 100% sure before pups come along!
