Hi everyone.

have one odd question:

one of my chins just has no whiskers... because either her or her little friend keeps chewing them off. (both chin's of course :)

besides that, she's very happy, playful, and great appetite; never showed any signs of worry or stress; always very excited to see treats.

so how do i solve this whisker issue?
 
You can't. The whisker chewing is a dominance issue. She is the low chin on the totem pole. It doesn't hurt her and it doesn't affect how she lives. She just has short whiskers.
 
that was my assumption as well.. but the funny thing is, she's usually the one dominating the food bowl and the sleep spot. she always pushed the other out of the way. Just very confusing.
