No, pygmy goat mothers and fathers do not have to be separated after birth. In fact, it is generally beneficial for the mother and father to remain together, as it promotes a natural bonding experience for the kids and allows the father to help care for them. However, if breeding is not intended, or to prevent unwanted pregnancies, it may be necessary to separate them after the kids are weaned. Always ensure that both parents are healthy and well-cared for in any situation.

Why is a pygmy possum a marsupial?
The five pygmy possums are classified as marsupials because they give birth to their young when the young are very undeveloped. The young then attach to their mother's nipple, and suckle there until they are more developed. Then they sometimes suckle from the nipple, but are not attached. Eventually, they are weaned. In all mammals that aren't marsupials (except for 5 egg-laying mammals), the young are born much more developed, and they don't need to attach themselves to the nipple. Also, most marsupials, including pygmy possums, carry their young in a pouch, which no other mammals do.
