You check for testes. But that is not foolproof, since sometimes they don't descend until they have been virile for a while, and thus, you might have a surprise pregnancy of another hamster thinking the one is a girl. Also, if you catch them mating, you will see which one is on top, and if you pull him off, you will see his penis.

You have to wait until they're a little older to tell. Otherwise, you wouldn't know WHAT is under that stuff and fluff! But when they get a bit older, their bottom would be either big, pink and puffy- for the male- or v shaped- for the female- both designed for mating. The reason this doesn't happen until their older is so that they don't mate when their too young, because neither one would be ready.

If you are not told when you get it, you can tell by looking at their tail (the little stubby thing on their butt) a girl has a round bum that goes to their tail. boys arent as round I THINK

The female's "dots" will be closer to each other. The male's will be further apart. If a female hamster has short fur, tiny nipples will be seen. A male does not have it.

They might cause a fight, if same gender, If not the same gender, the they will (most likely) have babies, and when a female hamster has babies, you have to help the babies come out. And if you touch the hamster babies AT ALL, the mother will eat them. I don't recommend buying another hamster.
