Use a divider.

Yup I used and just introduced her by removing it but my male immediately pounced on her and she got thrashed ....so i separated her again.

If you're hoping that the 2 FH will live together in peace, more likely than not, its not going to happen.

Ya I knew ...but just for breeding cause am trying to introduce them together..

 

[xraycer]

Has the female dropped her tube?

 

[ZhenZhu]

not yet

 

[xraycer]

Then she's not ready, and if she's not ready, he's going to want to kill her

Already I separated them and my male is behaving mad and thrashing the divider ...
