Gender?

[Richard]

Does anyone know how to check a hamster's gender? Because I need the gender to find a good name for it.

Syrian hamsters are usually pretty easy to sex, but I'm not experienced with dwarf hamsters.

Males have a more elongated rear end, and there's more distance between their two holes (urethra and butt) than in females. Also, male Syrians usually have very noticeable testicles.

Here's a link that may help you:
