A pair does not always result in a mating unfortunately. It may take more time for them to bond and court. If it isn't mating season, nothing will get them together. Be patient, continue to care for them and in the future they may mate.
It is always recommended to have any new pet examined by a veterinarian to confirm good health or to diagnose and treat any pre-existing conditions.
