I just saw my hamsters undercarriage, and 'he' seemed to have.. 6 little dots on 'his' tummy and two little dots, one parallel to either side of his hip, and one little one above the tail...
We didn't trust pets at home when they said they were boys, but they were too tricky to check at that time,
Is it possible that the two little dots above the little hole at the bottom are just scent glands and I'm being silly?
I realise it's difficult without a photo, but I'm home alone at the moment, and this hamster hasn't learnt to trust me yet, so I'd rather wait for my boyfriend to avoid stressing him/her out >.<
They've been together for 19 days, as well as being together in the pet shop ( we were told they were about 12 weeks when we got them) so I'm assuming they're the same gender...

Do all hamsters have little dots, I only saw them in one position he was in, then tried to get him back into it, but couldnt
>.<
I know I sound like a complete newbie..but tbh, I kinda am, I did a lot of research before getting them, but now they're here, lots of new things are popping up
Also, The reason I went over to the cage to check on them in the first place (they got out of bed because I moved something in their cage to check on them) was because I heard a squeek from their bed, it wasn't like...a high pitched squeek, more a muffled kinda one? does that mean they were fighting? I checked them both over and neither had any hurts, I think I'm just over protective because one of them always bites me, and I have heard horror stories about them biting/ attacking each other... I do keep an eye on them both, making sure that they aren't hurt, and don't fight
anyway >.< thanks for any help
and sorry if this is in the wrong category..
