Is Piglet a boy or girl?

Excuse me, could you clarify something for me? I've been wondering, when referring to the character Piglet from the Winnie the Pooh stories, is Piglet depicted as a male or a female character? It's a bit of a curiosity for me, as I've seen some conflicting information on the internet. Could you please help me settle this once and for all? Thank you in advance for your assistance.
