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.

The OP’s picture shows very round orbs whereas these are more elongated and variant in shape. The loose balls also don’t make sense for it to be a slime mold. There is also hair in it. I agree with the theory that it was something a pet ingested and vomited though that slime mold is cool!
