separate them. it's probably territory thing.

plus, give him live food, such as fruit flies, or small crickets. both are available at pet stores.

find a swamp and set them free!

Toads will eat just about anything that moves, including one another, so they weren't fighting or getting territorial or anything like that. Never keep a smaller toad with a larger one or you'll end up with one toad. Separate them immediately, then offer the smaller toad some nightcrawler worms, slugs, waxworms, crickets, or anything else that is non-aggressive and easy to catch (even newborn mice if he's not too small for that sort of thing). Feed him a little bit at a time to give him the opportunity to build up some weight at first, then slowly increase the amount of food at each feeding to keep up with his growth. Also, make sure he's warm enough. If he's too cold he may just want to hibernate.

take to the vet and say what you think happend and also say that he isn't eating and the vet should put a small sering in its mouth and jive it some liquid food.
