Whoa...

So, apparently Fred (don't remember Fred? Click here) is actually a DUDE! Blows my mind. Here we all were thinking Fred was a chickie and he has balls! I don't feel too bad though, cause apparently dwarf hamsters can "tuck them up inside the abdomen". I guess he had them put away for safekeeping. For four months. But today I was holding him, and in the space between my thumb and palm I felt something. So I looked, and -tada- Balls! Just to be sure, I also put him up on a piece of plastic and took a peep or seven, and he matches all the pictures of dwarf male hammie naughty bits. So, haha, even though I named a "female" hammie Fred I got it right after all!

Also, I realize after reading the original Fred post I never did get around to posting those pictures. Here they are, direct for your viewing pleasure, the dude who was a chick, Fred!!
