Jelly like egg in urine

[Torts are cool]

I’m worried about these jelly egg like substance in urine. Any know what this is? I can’t get into the vets until next week and am very concerned. She is a horsefield that I rescued 2 years ago.

Looks like urates to me.

➡️ A tortoise may urinate and defecate at the same time, which may leave urate deposits on the fecal material. This will make the feces appear as if it is white or off-white. If the uric acid builds up in high enough levels, the uric acids combines with electrolytes like sodium, calcium, and potassium, to form urates.

Like Mark said, urates, perfectly normal.
