Hello! This is the type of thing that I think would warrant a trip to see your vet, especially if the areas look red, or sore, of if there is a discharge associated with the peeling skin. You could try gently washing the areas with warm water, to be sure it isn't just some sort of substance that has gotten stuck to his skin first, though! Your vet could also examine Toby, and talk about first vaccines, deworming etc. Best of luck!
