Hard Urates?

Good Afternoon!
My (about) three year old female beardie laid eggs a week ago. She seemed a little weak (she usually does after laying), I gave her a bath and gave her some dubia roaches and salad and she ate and drank just fine. Today was the first day she's had a bowel movement since laying and it was in the bathtub. She strained for about 30 seconds before "getting to business". Her poop was "normal"- brown and floating in the water. However her urates sunk straight to the bottom. When I picked them up they were SUPER hard, and with a little force I broke it apart and it crumbled like chalk. I felt her belly and it was a little lumpy- but she had just eaten a large meal. She didn't seem in pain- she is about to shed so she was a little grumpy.
How can I make her urates "normal" again and what causes them to become hard like that? She eats the same thing as my other beardie that is the same age and his urates were fine. Any advice?

Also, the boy beardie Calypso; his tongue is blue? When he opens his mouth to grab a bug or something, his tongue is blue until the base of it, which is a red color. What does this mean?

I'm not sure about the blue tongue. Did he eat berries or something blue that could have dyed it? As for the chalky urates, that's usually dehydration. Just offer some extra water via drops on her nose and see if that helps. Maybe 5-10ml in small batches over the course of the day.

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
