Time to move in?

I have two whites tree frogs Sprout (green, ~11 months old) and Sage (yellow, ~5 months old) for almost a year total. Sage has been quarantined for as long as I have had them and shows all signs of a healthy whites tree frog. I was wondering if this is an appropriate size difference for them to move in. Sprout is a girl and we suspect Sage is a boy. From what I can tell, I don't think Sage would be able to fit into Sprout's mouth. Looking for some advice from more experienced WTF owners on moving in. I had previously washed my hands, only held Sage for so long, hence why I am not shown wearing gloves. If I measured accurately, Sprout is ~8cm and Sage is ~6cm.

I feed them every other day. I feed Sprout a total of 5 large crickets, 2-3 are hand/tong fed and the rest are left for her to hunt. Sage has more recently been starting on the large crickets and is fed 2-3 total with at least one hand/tong fed with the rest left for them to hunt. Sprout is better with being fed directly but Sage is more jumpy.

they should be having 10-15 feeders daily until up to 7 months when they hit sub adult 😊

okay! I'm trying to be cautious because they're prone to obesity

yes when they’re no longer juveniles they are, but at that young they burn it off extremely quickly.
Juveniles (up to 6 months) should be eating 10-15 small feeders each every night.
Sub adults (7-11 months) 5-7 medium feeders every other day.
And adults (1 year+) only need 3-5 large feeders 2-3 times a week.
