    Female laid 1 slug just before a lock?

    So I was just peeking in all of the tubs and one of my females laid 1 slug sometime today or yesterday. She just went off feed a couple weeks ago, hasn't had any glow and for sure hasn't ovulated. Anyone have any ideas? Very strange to me.

    I have personally never had this happen, and this is a first hearing about it. Can you post a pic?

    My first thought was urate as well. Wouldn't be the first time one was mistaken for an egg.
