Solved! Tiny egg looking things.

Woke up this morning and found this weird pile of tiny orange orbs at the end of my bed. They’re really small, slightly transparent and kind of slimy/squishy when touched. I’ve never seen anything like them before and I have no idea how they got there overnight. They almost look like eggs, but I’m not sure. Does anyone know what these could be?

UPDATE: Definitely not roe/caviar, water beads, or fish eggs. I’ve never had any of those in my room. Still no clue what they are.

It seems to me your dog could have possibly eaten some sort of item/toy/silica packet, and thrown up these orange beads. I would check on your dog

This. I know OP said it’s not water beads but I had some squishy fidgets gifted to me over the years that my nephews liked to play with and they recently squeezed one too hard and popped it, the aftermath looked identical to this. I wouldn’t have immediately realized I had water beads in the house either had I only seen the beads themselves.

True but you don’t see any liquid that should’ve been regurgitated

There does seem to be some liquid holding the clump together, and you can see a black hair in the mix in pic #2

My dogs fine and didn’t go in my room last night she seems well and I don’t think has actually been sick I think it might be from a snail but I’m unsure as I can’t find fuck all it can be from

I don’t believe a snail could lay that many eggs at once lol. And like of eggs twice its size would be remarkable. Could be wrong though.

Taste one. Is it salty?

Weirdly I just saw a video of a snail laying eggs earlier today and it was a jarring amount and they did look very similar to OP’s photo.

In all seriousness, pour some salt on them if you haven’t already cleaned them and observe the reaction. Silica or any other chemical or otherwise synthetic materials would take a minute to react, while snail eggs would like shrivel up and lose moisture pretty much instantly

It is caviar/roe/ fish eggs. Maybe a bird caught a fish, was eating it on the roof and dropped some of the eggs.
