squirrel behavior inquiry

[Nana]

My baby squirrel is 7 weeks and has started licking my skin when I hold her. Is this normal?

Co-grooming is pretty normal. My squirrels groom me after they get accustomed to me cleaning and grooming them. They also "chew" on skin or nibble nails, etc. They are PHENOMENAL hairstylists too! Singletons will groom you, siblings or buddies will groom each other more.
