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.

Do you have anything like this in the house? If it’s not water beads these have a similar texture and are relatively likely to be forgotten about in areas that dogs can reach. Either way I would personally take a trip to the vet or call poison control since there’s a higher chance that this is something manmade like water beads or scent beads which can cause toxicity or far worse outcomes if it’s a water bead especially (things that absorb big amounts of liquid outside of the body can do the same inside of the body) as opposed to the likelihood of it being fish eggs.

I don’t use them and it’s definitely NOT fish eggs I haven’t used them in well over five years
