toddler nail biting

DS2 is almost 3, and for the last few months has been biting his nails. He's chewed them so far down they look really sore and red.

Cant think of any recent changes that have made him anxious - generally seems quite happy bar toddler meltdowns

he might copy ds1 who bites his nails, but not to such an extent. Neither me nor dp do.

I've tried telling him not to and pulling his fingers out, but he shouts 'but i want to' and just continues constantly. I've also tried giving him things to keep his hands busy but doesn't really make a difference.

Any other ideas before i resort to stop n grow or toddler equivalent???
