Cute rat, I mean tar, I mean pet. I really wish I had listened to you and not read that. Nature can be cruel.

OC- Hope the kids enjoy Lewis. Will you be nicknaming it Louie, or is that just a New York thing?

I am afraid to ask, but how do you know if it's a Louie or Lou Lou?

OK I had to look up how to tell the difference between a male and female hamster
Sexing Hamsters
To sex a hamster you need to be able to look at . This can be done in one of two ways:
Place the hamster on one hand, place your other hand over it's back and turn your hands over so that the hamster is lying on it's back.
Hold the hamster by the scruff of the neck in order to see underneath.
The concept of sexing any species of hamster is the same. The male is more elongated around the rear and more rounded than the female and this is particularly noticeable with Chinese Hamsters.

To sex a hamster you need to be able to look at its genitals. This can be done in one of two ways:

Looking at the genitals there are two 'vents' - edited- bleepe opening and the bleep, and on the female these are the v---- and the a---. The gap between these two vents on the male is usually 1-2cm apart (Dwarf-Syrian) and on a female the gap is so small that it is difficult to distinguish the two separate vents.
I can truly say that I have now heard it all!
