rocky/rockyetta

Hi there

I've had rocky the chines dwarfie for about 2 years now and we were told by pets @ home that he was a boy (along with his old buddy rambo - r.i.p) I've never even thought about it really , since im no expert in hamsters. Recently my friend got two dwarf's that are DEFINETLY boys , if you get my drift. Now im starting to wonder about mine because he is well, he doesnt look very manly

I took a photo (on my webcam - sorry for bad quality) and was wondering if anyone thought the same? Also put a photo of him on when he decided to check what the camera was xD

Looks female to me....though there are many more experienced people on here than me. But have had 5 dwarf hammies now and they are all obviously boys! xx

Re: rocky/rockyetta

I think you can safely say that she is a 'Rockyetta' as Chinese hamsters have such massive testicles, you can't miss them.
