I'm almost certain that they don't. Take a look at the T&Cs and horses, donkeys, goats, deer, sheep are mentioned but not mules.

Isn't a mule a cross between a horse and a donkey?

They are but they are sterile, so I wonder if there is a requirement to have animals that are capable of breeding. Jennets (female donkey/male horse) are also not mentioned!!
