These 2 stay in the same cage and they get along pretty well but the male is really small the girl is pretty big she eats whatever he doesn’t
 
As @Reptofreak said. They need to be separated and have a divider between cages so they can’t see each other. Seeing each other will stress them out. Stress can slow / stop their growth.

you also don’t want them together all the time because the male will mate the female to death.
