How do you know whether caterpillars are a female or a male?

Mostly you can't. Sexual dimorphism is the exception rather than the rule among butterflies (unlike birds.) So most species look pretty much alike and are difficult to tell apart. (Although they know, and that's what really matters.) Among sexually dimorphic species, the differences can be as subtle as the color of the antennae or as dramatic as looking like completely different species. Whatever the differences, they can be learned. And then it's easy to tell.

Will two roborovski hamster fight if put in the same cage?

all hamsters housed TOGETHER have the potential to fight, but u can minimize it:

1.) litter mates are the best, two sisters, or two brothers works the best! more than 2 and u can have more constant "HEAD OF THE HOUSE changes" meaning they will fight over whose in charge with EXAMPLE: brother C is in charge..... so what about brother A and brother B? those two will fight to determine their pecking order... and if any falls ill, that ranking order may be challenged and u get more fights..... best is 2! siblings is best

2.) i house 4 of dwarfs in colonies, but heres the thing, either buy food dishes (large enough for like everyone to SIT in the dish at the same time, with room for at least 1/2 more guests..... so in a group of 4? buy a dish that will sit at least 6-7 dwarfs in the dish so that no one hogs the dish and theres some space between them if they all decided to eat at the same time.... food and water and shelter are the priorities in SURVIVAL... everything else they can fight over with less, but those 3 are very crucial to their survival

*** lasagna dishes (1.5 cm deep, 8" across, and 3.5" down, makes for a nice 6 ham buffet dish, also food enough for more than the hamsters u have in the cage, so if u got 4 hamsters, food for 5 or 6 works best.... theres less rush to grab and stuff their cheeks cuz they worry they won't get enough.... i gen feed enough for 2 whole days DAILY, so they never worry and btw mine don't even hoard at all.... food for thought right? no hoarding?

3.) if u can buy one wheel per HAMSTER, PLUS 1, so a group of 4? have 4-5 wheels..... or if budget is an issue? at least put 2 in for a group of 4, and buy the next size up, so dwarfs can use the 6.5 but get them the 8" this will allow 2 to run same time, and place at opposite ends of your cage, so that they gotta run to either sides of the cages to check if its in use, this will reduce crowding at the base of one wheel

4.) if the hamsters do fight? always take the BULLY OUT FIRST, it sends a message to the bully (it takes away its power, cuz it feels powerful when it wins a fight) then take the victim out, and if u want THEN place back the bully ...... by doing it this way u won't be telling the bully that he won

*when putting the victim back in the tank/cage/bin whatever, take the bully out, place him in a holding cage (like a transport cage) scoop out most of the bedding, add fresh bedding, and then put the victim in, leave him/her in the newly cleaned cage for about 30 mins so that "victim becomes elevated in that its now his/her home" and then add the bully back opposite side of wherever your victim is currently at, so that they can sniff their way towards each other, it doesn't absolutely work, but it does work better than adding victim back into the tank that the bully is sitting and waiting for him/her to return.

They'll get depressed if lonely but they will fight as i have found out with mine found it dead yesterday night eaten by the other.

Can guinea pigs eat applesauce?

No they can't. Some of the contents in applesauce may have high sugar content or unhealthy ingredients that will make the guinea pig sick. It depends on what's in the applesauce but just to be safe I wouldn't feed my guinea pig applesauce.

Instead, feed your pet lot of bell peppers! they're high in vitamin C which guinea pigs need a lot of :) I always feed mine green but experiment and see which one your pet likes best. And if you wanted to feed your pet applesauce because it was sweet then feed your guinea pig yogurt drops. They have th3em in almost ALL pet stores and rodent pets LOVE them <333. I hope this information was helpful to you :)!
