yea i took him for a check up and the vet said he might have just had an itch or the carpet might feel weird to him but i soak him everyday and make sure he is completely dry but thank you!!

 bath?

i can't find anywhere that says that is abnormal behavior, next time you visit a vet bring it up, but if it doesnt seem to be bothering him then i guess its fine, try bathing him and dry him completely that may help it
