Looks to me like the chin got hold of something it shouldn't have. Just keep an eye on him and if you're worried take him to the vet.

Have you figured out what it was yet? Because I just took something that looked identical to that out of my chins cage. Parts of it weren't completely mushed though so it was fairly easy to identify as food pellets soaked in liquid, either water or urine.
