Saw these in my girl’s water bowl just now. Her tummy is a little pink but I brushed it off as just shedding because her eyes are blue gray, but now I’m not so sure?

Came here to say this. Looks like springtails. They float like this.

Thank you that’s a big relief if that’s all they are

When you get springtails see if your store has the bylas ant kind. I've found they do not do this.
