Either that, or a rat and we really don't see much of them in our hardwoods. Raccoons don't gnaw, but we have a lot of those, too. They find material for their nests, though.
I don't have pics of where squirrels have chewed the insulation on utility lines, but here's a couple pics of yesterday's cleanup. The Arborists who did the work said they've never seen anything like it. I said, "Hang around awhile."
I doubt this rodent behavior is isolated. Rodents gnaw, it is what defines their species, this, sentence #1 taken from Wikipedia (see
Rodentia)
Rodentia is an order of mammals also known as rodents, characterised by two continuously-growing incisors in the upper and lower jaws which must be kept short by gnawing.
My thought is the furry buggers used my high molecular weight polyethylene as bedding for their young ones.
