This paint is not toxic to them, so no need to worry too much. This type of paint is quite difficult to remove though. The only way to remove it would be to use finger nail polish or simple green cleaner, but you would have to be very careful and need to rinse it off really well. Considering the cleaner could cause more problems than the paint, I wouldn't bother trying to clean it off. I would just wait for it to come off the next time he sheds; which happens rather often in a juvenile. I hope that helps and all is well with Truffles.
