Hi he is about 6 months old his teeth look fine but It's just strange that he does this. He doesn't mind me putting my finger in his mouth this is the only squirrel I have had that does this idk if he is 100% his brother died the first night i got them they fell out of a Crain and I am worried that he may not be right

My guy does this, just not usually to the extent that you are describing. His chin will usually be wet if I rub around his jaw and mouth for a while. He had a lot of mouth/jaw injuries. The only time he did it excessively like this was when he wasn't feeling well. I believe he had a sinus infection. Is he sneezing or have any nasal discharge? It may be totally normal for him though as the longer Sammy sits and let me rub his mouth and chin the more he slobbers!
