| I would take her to the vet and have them check her skin. Perhaps it is an allergy or perhaps it is boredom, but it should be checked before it goes on and on and then becomes a problem.

| Fang occasionally chews on his legs and feet. He also started doing that at about 1.5 years old. He hasn't ever broken the skin or even made it red or irritated though. I've read that it could be due to a food allergy, but we haven't been to the vet yet to see if that's true or not, and we haven't made any unusual changes to his diet. We'll be asking the vet about it next time we go.
