Look, Squirrel!

I think we have an addict on our hands. This squirrel is out on this stump, licking at it, almost constantly.

Back in the fall, I placed a maple-flavored deer mineral tablet on this stump in the back yard. The deer ignored it as best I could tell, and I forgot about it. It disintegrated from time, sun, and rain.

This squirrel seems to be completely addicted to what I assume are the remnants of this mineral tablet. It is there every morning when I get up. It's there whenever I look out the kitchen window.

I hope whatever it is, it is good for squirrels.
