I think the size. Difference might be to much you might need to separate them till the Jill's a bit more mature mate

yeah i would agree, leave them until the jill is strong and active enough for a bit of rough and tumble

I wouldn't put them together until the jill can look after herself. I guess around 3-4 months old. I would also let them get acquainted first without them living in the same cage straight away. Six weeks seems a little on the young side, I've always waited 'till 8 weeks before splitting litters up. Although many folk do at 6 weeks.

Even after you put them together with the age difference you might want to put a bit of pipe in only the Jill can get into if the hobs too rough in play
