Two Baby White's, Need a Second Opinion?
Hi everyone!
So I've had my two baby White's tree frogs for about a month now. They seem to be doing well so far. They've adjusted to their terrarium and are relatively active (I usually don't stay up late enough to watch them).
I just have one problem that I'm trying to deal with. Keahi is very obviously the dominant frog. She was slightly bigger when I first got them, and now she's huge, compared to little La'i. Keahi is filling out nicely, her body and limbs are not as skinny as when I got her. La'i, on the other hand, doesn't look like she has grown at all really. I took both of them out today to inspect a little, and La'i is still just as skinny as when I got her. I'm pretty sure that she is eating though, because the corner where she always hang out frequently has baby-sized poops for me to clean up. She's a lot more shy than Keahi and I've never seen her far away from her corner, even though I don't watch them at night.
My plan was to feed Keahi seperately in a smaller critter keeper the next time I feed them, and then I can count the crickets in the enclosure and see if La'i is in fact eating.
My question is, if this is a good idea, or if it will be too stressful for Keahi. Also, if La'i eats more alone, should I do this frequently, or can I count on them to figure it out by themselves? I asked the store where I got them, and they said that it's natural for one to eat more than the other, but I don't really feel good about it.
Thanks!

P.S. here are some pictures.
