Is OK to indruduce she is very healthy, fat tail, but very flighty. She doesn't tolerate being handled, and always jumps when being handled,and sort off nippy too. I'm worried that she will act agressive towards the others.

All help appreciated

Most people on this forum have said 2-3 months is necessary. I'm sure they're right cause they were right about everything else so thats what i'm going to do when my new leo gets here.
Good luck

3 months is usually the minimun, just to make sure no problems arise. I'd wait a little longer just to be safe. Mac

If you don't test the new one for parasites and disease it kind of defeats the purpose of quarantine.
Some ailments may take a long time to show signs, you really should have a poop test done to be on the safe side
good luck!

I quarantine for at least three months- that's IF the animal seems perfectly healthy. I have any indications there might be something wrong I quarantine even longer, and if it is convenient I often end up quarantining for a year or more. Sometimes infected animals don't show up with symptoms for months. If you are determined not to follow the three-month recommendation because you are determined to breed her right away or something, at the very least least get a fecal first. Better yet, just quarantine her for three months. There are lots of things fecals generally won't pick up (like crypto and bacterial infections)
