What is this!?

Found this about 30 minutes ago by the food bowl in my boxies tank. Can anyone identify it, & please inform me of how it got in there??

Looks like a dried turd to me

 

[katelyn0974]

Weird that it is so big and has a hole in it. While we are talking about turds though, one of my turts took a bite out of my other turts turd! Ew! It was only a little, but ew! Will she get sick now??

It looks like something that came out of coco-coir. Do you use coco-coir for substrate?

No, just moss. My dad said it might be from a wasp nest. Made out of dirt.

Looks like some sort of cocoon or egg case.

Nothing in it, and it's too big to fit through the wiring on top of the cage.

Yes it's a cocoon. Probably from the substrate, and dragged into the bowl by your little girls. The wasp or moth that made it is long gone.
