Dzungarian hamsters are cute fluffy rodents. When buying a pair of hamsters, you need to make sure that they are of different genders. Cubs of Dzungarian hamsters are very small in size and it will be possible to determine their sex by 3-4 weeks of age.
Instructions
Step 1
Take the hamster and put its back in the palm of your hand. The hamster needs to be lightly held by the skin with two fingers, but so that it does not hurt. If the hamster is comfortable, then he calmly lies on his palm with his tummy up.
Step 2
If you have a male in your hands, then the distance between the genitals and the anus of the hamster will be large (about 1 cm). At the base of the tail, there should be a small sac - the scrotum, in which the gonads of the hamster are located. All genitals of the male are densely covered with hair. Males are calm and less mobile than females. Less likely to show aggression.
Step 3
In females, the distance between the genitals and the anus is small. At the location of the female genital organs, wool is sparse or absent at all. Females are much more active than males. Sometimes they show aggression.
