Betta sometimes bites off plants and eats them

My Betta, Imugi, occasionally bites off the tips of a plant, chews for a while and I assume eventually swallows.

Is this a sign of stress? Boredom? Or maybe he's really hungry and I am underfeeding him? I usually feed him 2 pellets twice a day, and occasionally 2 bloodworms at end of day instead of pellets.

Any advice or comments appreciated!

Holy Moly! I thought my boy was the only one! Only he doesnt eat them, Im constantly finding healthy bite sized pieces of plant floating around and a slightly shorter plant. Though I have never seen him do it, its the only explanation.

I thought it was boredom when this was happening he was in a tivy bowl and the plant was the only thing in it...
