How to differentiate between a male and female baby hamster. Sexing baby hamsters is not difficult. In older hamsters this will become more obvious. The images below are 4 week old hamsters. These show you how to identify a male from a female hamster. The differences are basically the same for all species of hamster. On a young male hamster the testes may not have descended and therefore may not be as visible as the one shown below.
