I’m not sure. Has she eaten worms before? How big is she? And are you sure it was the worm and not poo?

I’m guessing it was a prolapse. Sometimes their clococa sort of comes loose and extends out. It’s pink, so it would look like a worm. If it doesn’t retract on its own, it has to be pushed back in, gently and carefully. One of the less pleasant aspects of rrog ownership.
Is there small gravel in the tank? Swallowing a piece accidentally is the type of thing that tends to cause these.
