So the babies from the accidental litter I wrote about here:

accidental hamster litter URGENT

Wow... I am shook... Came back home after a week away just to be greeted by a naked hamster pup. How not fun. I own 2 adult roborovski hamsters which I adopted from what could possibly have been a hoarding situation (11 hamsters in 1 cage). The previous owner separated them from the rest saying...

are now fully weaned and ready to live in their own enclosure. I think there's 2 females and 1 male but I need a second opinion just to be extra safe. Did I get the genders right?

(this plastic cup they are in in the photos was just for transporting them into the new enclosure as they are not tame yet)

I'm no expert, but those pictures definitely look like a female hamster to me. Especially considering the distance between the "two dots" – males tend to have them much closer together.
