Is my hamster a boy or girl?

[Bethyboo11]

So the Pets at Home told me cookie was a girl when I bought her; she also has the characteristics of a girl, and also a short skirt. However, a few weeks after I'd got her, I noticed 2 swellings around her anal area, which I just thought were her buttox, but after some research, I've found that these may actually me testicles. What do you think they are?

Was going to say looks like a boy - but the questioned it because I wasn't sure if that was the face LOL

Put them in a see through bowl or large jar and take a photo from underneath

Haha- it does look like a face! And I'll go and see if she/he is awake now

[pinkneon]

If it's not the face then I think it's a boy LOL

The little pink dot above must be the tail? I thought it was an eye!
