Some chewing is a normal grooming behavior - they are pulling old nail sheaths off. Once a day would be fine behavior for this. But you said they are short because of this behavior? I find the back claws do grow more slowly than the front, but they do get sharp eventually, and if they have never been trimmed then that is strange. I would ask a vet about their length, and if it seems they are being destructively chewed on and if the quick (the blood supply) has been damaged. Paws can get itchy from food allergies, but if it's only the back paws then it's probably not that.
