You should definitely be quarantining her for at least 90 days in a different room entirely. That's before you even decide when to put them together. If she's carrying an infection or parasite she can easily pass that to your male through your handling or by contact for breeding.
Entire breeder colonies have been destroyed because of one sick animal. So as a beginner breeder, that's the most basic of advice I can give.
Even if she was owned by a friend... If she's a carrier stress can cause issues. At the very least 30 days alone so you see her eat and drink normally. And behaving normally
