Fat male or pregnant female? So confused
So I was considering trying pre-killed mice for my bp until I figure out if I want to order online, or even breeding on a VERY small scale myself, so I went and picked up two mice today. But the ones I got look like very fat males or pregnant females, the only problem is the both look like male genitals!! They both weigh 22 grams, which is a little bit more than 15% or my BPs weight, but not over 20%. But I think this is because they are overweight/pregnant, so hopefully I can slim them down a tiny bit to the perfect size.
Sorry for the pics. S/he wouldn't stop moving! haha
There are no nipples that I can see even after looking through the fur, I'm very sure these guys are overweight males, but I would just like some second opinions. 
EDIT: The reason I second guess is because according to this picture:

There really IS a bit of space between the anus and the vaginal orifice. But a lot of places say it's almost connected. I personally think the mice I have look similar to the female genital picture show in the link, but I'm caught off guard by the bulges! They are not shown in the picture because s/he's not relaxed, but I will get up a picture of them running around or something when they're out. I will also try to get a better picture of the genitals.

See that little flap inbetween? Those are the testes. If you let him grab on to something it will actually push those out.

And females will have the nipples. Especially pregnant ones.

That looks like a 'lethal yellow' mouse. Mice of that color and phenotype tend to get fat. They're used as obesity models in research.
