My boy Zeb always used to have a kind of crispy stripe of fur on his left side that I thought was from him running into his water bottle but I've realized it's from him chewing on his fur. He's not too bad looking but I can tell that he chews a bit on his right hip. When I put him with my 12 week old today for play time, he started to nibble a bit on the baby's side but the baby did not seem offended by it at all. If Zeb's a fur chewer, is it possible that he's trying to chew Roo's fur too? And if he was, should I not put them together then?
 
Yep. He will most likely chew any chin you put with him. Sometimes they stop chewing themselves and chew the chin with them until they are darn near bald.
