Hi Gemma

Not sure if this helps, but my male was larger than my female at 2 - although I didn't know the sex at the time. It wasn't long before the female grew and grew and became double the size. She ate and ate and he didn't. I fussed over him worrying that she was taking all the food, but this wasn't the case. Now they are nearer 11 he still eats far less.

Personally I think if they live harmoniously why separate them? Do they need their intake controlled? Is your friend sure that one is taking the food over the other?

I'm not an expert, but just my experience with my 2.
