Hi all,
I keep noticing and removing clear white crystal looking “rocks” from my enclosure and dont know what is causing them if they are coming out of the hatchlings. I have attached pictures of them for reference. They are all the same opaque clear material, some are just dirtier than others. At first I thought it was urates or some type of kidney stone but these are solid crystal consistency and cant be broken up or crumbled with force. There seems to be lots of very small (sand grain sized) white crystals throughout their coco coir substrate, so not sure what could be causing it. They havent been in their outdoor enclosure in a few months so its not like they could eat rocks out there and pass them in the enclosure. I also havent seen clear crystal like stones like that outside ever. Thanks in advance for the advice and knowledge.
Extra knowledge that may help: I soak them for 20 minutes daily and they are mainly fed escarole and endive at the moment until their weeds grow.
