Male hamsters do not mate. They are probably messing around, or practicing for if and when they do it with a female. Don't confuse mating with fighting, because they look similar. You didn't say whether they were babies, or what type of hamsters they were? I had a couple of baby Syrian boys who stayed together for an unusually long time, and were always sniffing each other. I also recently had a litter and when they were about 6 weeks old and waiting for a home, I had a cage of 4 of them, and what happened was that one of them kept sniffing the others' bottoms and picking a fight on them. If they are baby Syrians I expect you are confusing it with that, otherwise, I think it is one of the things I mentioned in my 2nd sentence.

I'm not sure if my 2 hamsters are a boy or girl but they are licking each others bottoms are they mating?

If they are adults, you can identify a male by his testicles. If they're still young, you can tell the sex by the distance between the anus and the urethra: shorter on females, larger on males. Sometimes hamsters lick each others bottoms prior to mating. If you don't want baby hamsters, I suggest you separate them.


Why is my male hamster keep licking my females butt area?

Male hamsters may lick the female's genital area as part of the mating ritual, as it helps to stimulate the female and can increase the chances of successful mating. This behavior is a natural instinct for hamsters during the breeding process. However, if the licking becomes excessive or aggressive, it could be a sign of dominance or stress. It's important to monitor their interactions and ensure both hamsters are comfortable and safe.
