To sex a hamster you need to be able to look at its genitals. This can be done in one of two ways:
Place the hamster on one hand, place your other hand over it's back and turn your hands over so that the hamster is lying on it's back.
Hold the hamster by the scruff of the neck in order to see underneath.
The concept of sexing any species of hamster is the same. The male is more elongated around the rear and more rounded than the female and this is particularly noticeable with Chinese Hamsters.
Looking at the genitals there are two 'vents' - on the male these are the penile opening and the anus, and on the female these are the vagina and the anus. The gap between these two vents on the male is usually 1-2cm apart (Dwarf-Syrian) and on a female the gap is so small that it is difficult to distinguish the two separate

Without looking? The furry ones are male...or female. The ones with whiskers are male, or the other way around. The males move their noses while smelling...or was it the females? Or both? Sorry, can't remember, you're gonna have to go the old-fashioned way.

Look at the distance between the the genital opening and the anus. A small distance=female; a large distance=male

male hamsters have a funny looking big but. i think it's because the testicles are large for the size of the animal.

LOL when they are babies its hard to tell, but as they get older trust me you can tell, their balls will drop if they are males.

They usually have rather large testicles that are very obvious. If you don't see them then it is a girl....
