Uh Kind of freaked out right now. Kyo is acting normal, but this just squirted out of him... He ate red peppers and carrots about 3 hours ago. Normal, or not?

He just had a completely normal poop 10 minutes later.

Peppers contain a lot of water and if his poops after seem normal then I (personally) wouldn't fret over it. Just keep and eye on him, keep some water and pellets available and see how he does.
I used to freak out every time Pazu's poop's weren't the same, too watery, too loose, not enough, just urine(and urate) and so on. Be vigilant but don't let yourself get too worried.
And when in doubt, talk to a vet.

Yes, it looks like that :). It looks as if you squished and spread out the poop?

Yes, it was very runny and I had to wipe it up off the side of the cage and the floor (sorry, gross and TMI I know) in a panic to grab a pic of it.

Other than being itchy and cranky from molting, Kyo seems just fine. Must have been those red pepper bits. >< Silly me getting all worried about one weird poo.
