Default Diarrhea?

We had a situation earlier today with the hamsters waterbottles. We had to take them out of the cages for a few hours and because of that we put in some well sized cucumber pieces.
Romeo really loves cucumber, and i probably shouldn't have shown it to him, looking back.
I noticed that his stomach was audibly rumbling when i had him out tonight. I went to check his nest and found some very different consistencies and i need and opinion here.
Is this cause for concern or is it going to be fine if we just stop giving him greens until it returns to normal?

The long one in the middle is normal size and and colour.

I think it is just a lot of cucumber causing this. I'd stick with dry mix for a few days and monitor him closely. He should be OK. Go with dryer veg like brocolli and cauliflower for now.

Thaning you he has enough to deal with already, with his recent weightloss.
I feel like every little problem becomes a big problem lately.
