When I introduced my male to my female he crabbed a little but they have been fine ever since. I didn't keep them in separate cages either. I introduced him in the early evening, and she just crawled into his bed and curled up and slept. When the got up it was like they were old friends. Every now and then I think they are hurting each other but it looks like they are playing tag. One will sneak up on the other one and nip their tail then take off running. I also just called my vet and they charge $85. He said the do put them under to do the procedure and it requires a couple of stitches, they use the disolvable ones. He hasn't had any problems with them licking the area after but he hasn't done a whole lot of them. Hope this helps.
