So moose is 10 weeks old (11 weeks friday whoot) his page (http://thesquirrelboard.com/forums/showthread.php?t=35890)

and for some weird reason when we are playing he seeks out my rings on my finger and likes to nibble on them, prefers the gold one over silver LOL "Gold Digger" any thoughts to why? He will sit there a nibble it forever if I don't move him. Thoughts?
I know it will not hurt him, it just a "what the" question really.

It is foreign - not supposed to be there, so he is grooming it away for you. They are helpful that way and will do the same to scabs, moles, birthmarks and other things you may prefer not be surgically excised by squirrel teeth. And OMG Bandaids!!

My two kiddos are fascinated with my watch. They chew on it and try to pull it off. I have taken it off a couple of times and they jump to the bed and proceed to chew on it there. I think they just like the taste or texture of it. (it is a rubber waterproof band)

Be careful if they have stones. Stormy Lee neatly nipped off a small diamond from from of my rings, and I never found it.

My Hazel goes a little crazy if I leave my watch on. She tugs and chews on it. and when I take it off she grooms my wrist until I am once again up to her high standards.

OMG, yes, Bandaids!! Now that's a good way to get pinched by those little razor teeth; when they try to rid you of a bandaid. :rotfl
