What age do you seperate baby goats?

I have Nubians. What age is the absolute latest that you keep bucklings and doelings together?

12-16 weeks if you want to be safe

I have an 8 week old buckling and an 8 week old doeling. The boy usually pays her no attention except to play but he has started smelling her a lot now and trying to hump her. Their separated pens will be built in about two weeks. Will it be safe to leave them together until then or should I try to figure out an alternator so I can separate them now.
