How do hamsters distinguish males from females?

Male and female hamsters can be distinguished by the shape of their hips and their aromatic glands.

Most people start with mice, which are difficult to distinguish because their sex organs are not so obvious. At this time, they can be distinguished in this way: because the genitals and anus are far away, male mice will have hair between the two points; Because the little mouse is close, there will be no hair between two o'clock.

Adult male hamsters have big and round buttocks, long and big anus, obvious fragrant glands, and the genitals are far away from the anus, and the outline of testicles can be seen, especially in summer.

The female hamster's ass is inverted triangle, which is rounder and fuller than the male hamster's ass. The anus is closed and the fragrant glands are not obvious. The distance between the breasts, genitals and anus on both sides is very close, and a gap can be seen in the middle.
