That part is fine. It is a different part of the sentence that needs to be changed.

Better: " The big moutain and the squirrel are two different things, and neither can ever take the place of the other."
Quote:
Would it be better if I say ' None of them can take the place of the other" or Neither of them can take the place of each other."
Which one is more acceptable?

The second one. You can't use the first.
