Weeeeell....its time for a lesson of the birds and the bees. First, I hope you seperated mom and dad, that will stop any more litters from them. It only takes 28 days from the day of conception to delivery. And they can get pregnant almost immeadiatly after. Second, you may want to try and sex them before they are 3 weeks old, or you'll just get more babies. The easiest way, is to take them to a vet, and pay for the sexing. That is the truest way. OR you can flip them over yourself, and gently massage their underbellies. IF a penis errects, its a boy! If not, its a girl. Hampsters, especially when they are young are EXTREMELY hard to sex, and you'd be safest going to see a vet.
