Exclamation Hamster with poo in his fur?

Hello, i adopted a hamster about a week ago, he is around four months old (i know, old for a new adoption) and seemed relatively healthy, well today, he woke up and i went to go pick him up, and noticed he had some poo stuck in his fur, the poo wasn't solid, but it wasn't liquid either, it was just soft.

he is acting normal otherwise, he is eating and drinking and running in his wheel.
should i be doing anything in case this is diarrhea? it doesn't appear to be wet-tail because his bottom is still dry, he has not lost any weight, and he's not acting differently

one thing i'd like to mention is that last night, i carried his tank down two flights of stairs to move him to a new room, and he was awake for it, could the soft poo also be stress related?

ive attached a picture of it, keep in mind this was after i pulled the poo from his bottom with a paper towel

any help/advice would be appreciated! thank you
