If you think you're hamsters are not looking well, I suggest you consult a veterinarian for professional advice. If they seem to be fine, keep them on the hamster mix alone for the next couple of days then only get them back on to their normal routine. Also, avoid introducing new food in large quantities, always give it to them in small amounts until they're used to a variety of different food. Below is a list of edible fruits, veggies and treats that your hamsters can take and also a list of stuff you should avoid giving your hamsters. Let us know how they fare -- Best wishes!

Have you been feeding him any treats lately? It sounds odd, but some types of treats make the poo go green. So it may be this. Any change in the diet could cause this.
Does everything else look normal? Is is rear end clean and dry and is he eating and drinking normally? Does he look bright and healthy? If so then i don't think you have any need to worry!!!
at least its not a watermelon
or a pineapple
