Default I was digging a hole in my back garden for a dead bird and I dug out two weird balls?

My bird died and I was digging a grave for it and as I was digging, at about 20 cm in the ground I noticed two round balls, they look like tapeworms curled into a round ball. As I examined it a little closer I noticed that a little bit was moving. There are two and right now they're placed in an air tight plastic container. I would like to know what it could possibly be. And if it is dangerous in any way how should I get rid of it?
Thank you!
And, I don't really see a head or a tail and it's curled into a ball, and very flat and looks like dried hay curled into a ball, the weird thing is that it moves otherwise I wouldn't be asking, oh, and it's only 2-3 mm in breadth.

Thanks again!
And for the last time the radius of the ball it is curled into is about 2 cm and it is curled into a ball the way wool is so don't give me ideas of grubs and stuff like that because it is flat and only 2 mm in breadth and very very very long in length, probably 4 meters.
And I do have 5 tortoises. I don't think they are tortoise eggs though..
I estimated, the height can't be more than 0.5 mm.

how do you know they are 4 metres long, did you unroll them? A pic would have been interesting, other than that I have no clue but I am now curious.

You shouldnt really keep anything you find from under the ground in your house. As you said it might be dangerous so leave it outside in its habitat... If its living or not just get rid of it because it might make you ill.... There might be insects in their as well and they might become a pest in your house...
