I would really be impressed if it could chew on the stone Moai sitting on the shelf next to it! PTD Having a squirrel feeder is not going to prevent gnawing. Eating and gnawing are two different things. Rodents usually gnaw on wood to keep their incisors from getting too long but it sounds like resin does the job too. Protect the rest with (like dcman said,) a cayenne pepper spray.
