New addition to the family- help wanted

Hello
I've just got an 8 week old lion head girl, who's absolutely gorgeous- we adopted her from my niece as it turned out she was allergic to her. So pleased as she is a very much wanted addition to the family :D
Anyway, we have Dillon, our 8 month neutured boy and I was wandering when I can start introducing them to each other.
I currently have her in the bedroom whilst he is in the lounge.
Number 1- any advise would be much appreciated and number 2- what shall I call her??? She's a honey colour and really fluffy but hasn't stopped eating since I brought her home :shock:
 
get them in a place neither of them has been like the bathroom? and basically put them together and see what happens! you will either get a fight or they will sniff each other and he may try to hump her.if they seem ok together do a little time per day untill you are happy to move them in together.do be aware that a fight can be very nasty but i have never had one between male and female.Do make sure she is a she before you start or you will have a huge fight.
 
I don't know if I imagined this but I though someone advised for buns younger than 16 weeks not to be bonded as their skin is still very delicate and so could be easily injured in a scuffle. I'm not sure! :oops:
 
My new baby girl- Any name suggestions would be appreciated.

And not forgetting Dillon

Well i'm getting her checked at the vets on saturday just to make sure she is in good health.
I let Dillon have a sniff round her cage while she was in it, just for him to get used to her and he seemed quite interested and she just couldn't care less :lol:
Is it worth leaving bonding until she's a few weeks older?
Still can't find a name :roll:

Thank you for all your suggestions!! I have gone for Tinker, short for tinkerbell. Reason being is that I bought her a wooden ball with a little bell in and all afternoon and through the night she kept lobbing it about :roll: It would have been quite cute had it not been 3 in the morning- i've had to put her in with us in the bedroom as Dillon is in the lounge.
Also, I think i've got her litter trained- not bad for 5 hours of perseverance! I was quite pleased to hear her get in the litter tray, only to wake up this morning and found her asleep in it :shock:
How do I get her out of that habit?
