My IRN has recently been biting his fingernails non-stop. Has anyone else had this problem, or should i not be worried?
-Thanks Mark

if he hasnt any problem with his nails, it probably is psychomatic.
are you sure if he is feeding correctly (vitamins-calsium)?
try to keep him, as much you can busy, with new toys (shreding),foragings,company with you, etc

Ours do this when something is scaring them or they are uncomfortable and feeling stressed.
