I read that a larger whites tree frog could try to eat a smaller one. At what point would this size difference matter? I got both of mine at the same time and they were housed together when purchased. However, one is smaller than the other (one is around 1.75-2, the other is 2.25-2.5).
I have seen the larger one swat the smaller one before, but in have seen them both step on each other and crawl over each other. The last two evenings when I have went in the room they are in, the small one has been wedged between the enclosure door and the hygrometer. I'm just worried the larger one has started bothering him (both males) and he is trying to get away from him.
I'd consider their mouth size to be a little wider than the distance between their eyes. If the widest part of the small frog is bigger than that you should be okay.
Edit: or to put it more clearly- the width of the head at the widest part is the same width as the mouth.
It's tempting to want to put them together, but if you think the little frog could get eaten I wouldn't do it. My frogs usually ignore each other, but after a while I saw the big one chomp down on the little one's head. Luckily the rest of the little frog didn't fit in his mouth!
