1. At first sight samochka of hamsters a little in what differ from males. The inexperienced observer can long consider both and not come so to any significant conclusion. The scrotum at men's individuals is so poorly distinguishable that it is not so simple to see it.
2. Having undertaken to assign hamster gender, estimate at first his exterior. Females of rodents have more round shapes and a wide basin. The little body of a male which was usually more extended, and his pelvic part is slightly pointed. At the ripened men's individual in the lower part of a stomach it is possible to notice slightly outstanding two roundish balls – a scrotum with testicles.
