2 months minimum, 3 months preferred. Be sure to get them each fecal checks a few times during the quarantine, as well.

Yes, keep them completely seperated, even changing shirts and washing your hands thouroughly when handling one after the next, some parasites can be carryed on your hands and clothes.

Also, unless they both happen to be female, I would strongly advise keeping them in seperate enclosures permanently.
