Article: These usually look like small pink circles and may appear slightly raised around the edges. The anus is just under the tail, and the urogenital opening, the location of the urinary and genital organs, is above the anus toward the center of the abdomen. Sex differences are more difficult to spot in very young pups, but it is possible to sex a pup by looking at the distance between its anus and its urogenital opening. In females, the openings are very close together. You may actually have trouble telling them apart so that the urogenital opening, which in this case is the vulva, and the anus almost seem to be a single opening or structure. In males, the openings are farther apart, so there is very clear separation between the anus and the urogenital opening. You may also see small swellings in the groin area if you have a male. These are the growing testicles. If you can only find one opening, especially if it seems rather large, you should suspect you are dealing with a female, but recheck the animal often or consult an experienced exotics veterinarian just in case you missed the second opening. This opening can be subtle in a very young male, especially if the animal you are working with is a tiny dwarf hamster. The most common pet hamsters, Syrian hamsters, are solitary and need to be kept in individual cages, so early sexing is not very important. Dwarf hamsters, on the other hand, are kept in single-sex groups. If you have pups in a single-sex group, you need to recheck them often until sex is obvious. This will help you avoid accidental pregnancies in your group.

Locate the two openings on the underside of the hamster. Assess the distance between the anus and the urogenital opening. Recheck the hamster at another time if you are still not sure.
Article: Look in the adhesive or bathroom repair section of a home hardware store. Buy a kit that comes with both the catalyst and hardener that you will mix together to create the epoxy. Most epoxy chip repair kits come in shades of white to match the most common color of bathtubs. Try to choose a kit that will closely match the shade of your bathtub, or 2 kits that you can mix together to create the right color. Epoxy repair kits work to fix chips in all kinds of bathtubs including ceramic, porcelain, acrylic, fiberglass, and enamel tubs. Use warm water and dish detergent or a household tile and tub cleaner to clean the chipped area. Thoroughly dry the area with a clean rage after you finish cleaning it. You can also use acetone or rubbing alcohol to clean the area. Any product that removes grease and soap scum will work to clean the chip. Some epoxy kits come with a mixing tray and stirring stick for you to use. Mix the epoxy in a disposable tray with a toothpick or matchstick if your kit didn't come with the mixing supplies. It's a good idea to set the tray on a piece of cardboard or some scraps of paper to catch any spills. Scoop up a small amount of the epoxy with your chosen utensil. Spread it carefully in a thin layer over the chip by working in 1 direction and smooth out any spots where it pools. Make sure that anything you use to apply the epoxy is disposable. It will be hard to get the epoxy off of anything it touches. It's easiest to start with a small amount of epoxy and add more layers than it is to put too much on and remove it. Follow the directions on your epoxy kit to let it fully dry. Gently sand the surface with 400- or 600-grit sandpaper until it feels smooth like the rest of the tub. Some epoxy will set in 2-3 hours, at which point you can sand. Other kits may advise you to wait up to 24 hours before sanding. You can add another layer of epoxy after sanding if you can still feel the chip. Then repeat the process.

Buy a 2-component epoxy kit for chip repair. Scrub the damaged area with a sponge and soap or tub cleaner, then dry it. Follow the directions on your epoxy kit to mix the 2 components together. Apply the epoxy to the chip with a small spatula, paint brush, or bottom of a matchstick. Let the epoxy dry, then sand down the surface with 400-600 grit sandpaper.
Article: Keep your torso and neck in line. Ensure your back is adequately supported, with a slight curvature in your lower back. Keep your head level and your eyes looking ahead of you. Do not tilt your head to one side or the other. Your feet should be placed flat on the floor. If your feet are off to one side or tucked under you in a cross-legged position, it will be uncomfortable for you, and you'll be more likely to hunch over the computer. Keep your knees roughly in line with (or slightly below) the level of your hips. If your chair needs to be adjusted to a level where your feet cannot touch the floor, place a footrest or low stack of books below your feet. This will provide stability that will help you sit up straight. Bring your elbows in toward your sides. This will prevent you from leaning in toward the keyboard. Keep your shoulders relaxed and your elbows bent at an angle between 90 and 120 degrees. Your forearms should be approximately parallel to the floor and rest comfortably on the armrests of your chair.
