Question!

How do you tell girl hamsters from boy hamsters? Because Lizziey left hers here (yes, I know, we're not thrilled about it either) and I want to know which is which... or, at least, what it means when both of them seem to have balls (but might not because they're hamsters and I don't know anything about them).

A couple of years back I became an unwitting witness to a moronic scene in a pet shop. A middle-aged woman with her teenage daughter were inspecting rodents.

Woman (addressing the shop assistant): Um... This little hamster here seems to have a growth. Is that a growth, that?
Shop Assistant: No. It's a male.

(you'd have thought she'd be better aquaited with the mammalian reproductory systems... oh well.)
