Here’s the problem. My dear sweet Mother bought my Little Honey a hamster 4 weeks ago. Butterscotch is a cream colored, dwarf hamster. Unfortunately, she was pregnant when we welcomed her into our home.

She had 4 perfect little babies. Being a responsible hamster owner, I don’t wish to bring more little hammies into the world (I will be keeping all of my new Grand-hamsters though), I need to determine the sex of our bundles of joy. I have googled and googled and cannot find a website with actual pictures of male and female genitalia. (I have deleted the search history on my computer at work in fear that my boss will think I’m a complete freak).

I hope my fellow dopers can help.

I am so amazed (given the pet in question) that I managed to find this site without viewing any hamster porn.

Mr. Hampster is hung like a fieldmouse. Yet they breed like rabbits.

Thanks so much. That’s a site I hadn’t seen yet. Give it a few years and the net will be loaded with hamster porn.
