Tiny bugs
 
Morning cleaning out my tortoises today getting there food bowls out from yesterday I noticed loads of little insects size of a pin head all in the food bowls I can't see them on my tortoises so don't think there mites but will this cause any problems as it's kinda freaked me out so I'm going to have to clean it all out together rid of them lol or try

Ooh, I had that the other day. Looked like tiny maggot or worm babies under the water bowl. I've put Darwin on newspaper and am waiting for a poop sample incase it was worms, but typically, as I'm waiting, he hasn't been. I haven't seen anymore on the paper. I saw a small fly buzzing around so wonder if something had laid in his table.

It really does freak you out doesnt it. I had little light green things and I think they came from his violas. I cleaered his house out and so far fingers crossed not seen anything untoward. If in doubt go see the vet though.
