Its actually extremely easy to tell what gender a syrian hamster is. from the first picture, Chubbs looks like a boy, but it was a little bit too blurry to know for certain. males will have 2 very obvious balls in the back...
He also looks pretty full grown from those pictures.
Hope the 2 of you really bond and have a great time together!
dont tell my dwarves but syrians are by far my favorite hamster breed

Thank you for your reply! I put a few.more pictures up in the health forum earlier and I'm hoping that they will be better in determining whether Chubbs is male or female. I don't mind either way but it's probably important to know anyhow! Chubbs really likes black beans, I've discovered! I brought Chubbs out in a little bucket tonight and climbed right up my arm and was very friendly. Didn't sit calmly but didn't dart off anywhere, just curious. I think Chubbs is going to be great. Tomorrow, I'll pick up some fruit and see what is preferred! Thanks again!!!
