Thanks for reaching out about Ash and including a photo. Unfortunately, not able to determine the sex by the photo. The testicles of males, are usually very obvious around 3-4 months of age. Regarding possible mucus from the rectum, often associated with dietary inflammation, so limit vegetables and other treats. If mucoid stool continues, a veterinary visit is recommended to assess as intestinal parasites or infections, possible. Good luck.
