My chinchilla has weird white stuff on his fur? It is dried to the tips of his fur and…?

looks like milk or something, but I have absolutely no idea how he got it there. We don’t bring drinks in with him because we don’t want to get him wet and my daughter never has sticky hands or anything and can’t just get to him so she couldn’t have done it without anyone seeing. Anyway, its just on the very ends of his fur near his ear and on a little on his one side. It isn’t sticky and doesn’t go deep at all into his fur, but it is stuck on very good. I tried to rub a little off between 2 fingers, but it wouldn’t come off and seemed to annoy him a little. He pulled away and didn’t seem happy at all. I will not wet him at all so don’t say to take a damp wash cloth or anything-I think fungus in his fur would be a lot, LOT worse than this-it doesn’t seem to be dangerous at all so should I even worry? He just took hiis dust bath-I let him in it for a few extra minutes just in case it could help dry to stuff up more so it could come off easier. Do you have any advice though or should I just leave it alone? He is very healthy and active and his fur is perfect-he isn’t missing any at all and it is perfectly level and soft (except not soft in those couple places). I’m not too worried, but just in case, any advice on how to get it off or whatever would be great. Thank you:)
