    Concerns, Please help

    Hello and thanks in advance. I have concerns with a female pastel BP I have, never seen this before.

    Quick back story, I purchased her when she was a couple weeks old, hadn't had a first meal yet. She starting eating quickly and very easily for the first 5 months I had her, a couple of weeks ago she regurged. She had just been moved around and set up in my new racks and I figured it was just stress. The next couple days she had odd bowel movements then nothing, I waited 14 days then fed a smaller meal and she kept that and last weeks meal down fine.

    Today I find urates and a lot of black specks all over the tub. The best way I can describe them is they are like salt grains, theres a lot of them and they glisten in the light, they also feel hard, if you rubbed salt in between your fingers that's kinda what this feels like. Temps and Humidity are fine. 15qt sterilite tub with paper towel substrate. I hope I posted the pics correctly.

    I've never seen that before. But it sounds like it could be dried blood. If u see it again or notice some unhealthy changes I'd take it to a vet. It could be nothing or it could be something internal or maybe parasites.
    A room full of empty racks and thermostats that have been unplugged.
