Quarantine period is when new animals in your collection are kept apart from your established animals. The main point of it is if your new animals has any health issues or parasites (such as mites) your other animals will not be exposed. Most people quarantine for between 2-6 months.
One big reason for it is mites. You many not see mites on your new animal, but you won't be able to see the eggs.
