Okay so, I was bathing my tortoise and suddenly this light brown power and water sorta came out of her? And there was a bit that had some sort of hard stone?
I’m really worried
It was like a mocha type of colour which was runny. I don’t know if it came out her mouth or rear end.
Please help

I found this photo on the internet and it looks like this, but smaller? As she’s only 7 months old IMG_0184.jpg

Those are urates. Normal, but indicate the need for more water in their diet.

If the urates are creamy and pasty, it's fine. If they are dry and gritty, then the tortoise is not well hydrated, and I would recommend extra warm water soaks.
