So the chewing squirrel has continued to break sections off the bungee cord holding down the lid of the metal can where I store the squirrel food.

Time for a new tactic. I went to the hardware store and bought a length of chain. I replaced the chewable bungee material with metal.

I over estimated the amount of chain I needed, but that’s ok, because the chewer is also working on the knot in the rope that holds up the squirrel feeder.
