Obligatory- this fern was in an outside shade deck all summer getting morning sun. So I’m assuming it’s a bug of some kind.
As pic 2 shows, when I lift this plant out of its decorative pot to water there is always these pellets of poop/dirt from… something inside the pot.
Recently the plant has yellowed and lost some of the bottom leafs so I’m wondering is this normal shedding of old leaves or.. do I need to gulp- unearth whatever is moving the soil around.
I won’t lie I’m kinda scared to see what’s in there 😩 it’s too cold to do this outside so whatever it is, would be in my kitchen.

Those are worm castings. It’s actually good and beneficial. I always just top them off back into the plant.
That looks like mouse turds to me. Weird!
Isopod poop is kinda similar too, but usually smaller and more square I believe.
Looks impossible to be a mouse given pot size and all that, but I got no other ideas lol
My bet is on millipedes, that’s looks exactly like the millipede poop I found in one of my pots bottoms when I had rotting plant matter in there.
They friends tho!
