Hello
The poop pearls (poop connected by hair) is due to her ingesting her own fur, so make sure that you’re brushing her consistenly, especially during molt time, to reduce the amount of hair she’s eating.
As for mucus, was it around normal poop or cecotropes? Cecotropes are naturally covered in mucus to help them eat them, if she consistenly leaves cecotropes uneaten it’s most likely a dietary issue. If the mucus is around normal poops and she’s not suffering from stasis or pre-stasis, it might be a problem in her intestinal flora balance. In that case, you could ask the vet about giving her an external aid such as a probiotic supplement, which is a powder that you dissolve in water and admininster orally for a few days.
