He's a puppy and is teething. Biting or nibbling can be explained as he is teething. However, licking plaster or digging up soil may imply micromineral deficiency. Whats is the food that you offer him? if it is not balanced, you may have to incorporate certain safer vitamins + mineral supplements. You can also offer him some non-edible chewing toys as well. Hope this is helpful.
