I would wonder if he is looking for some nutrient that he needs?
From the info I came up with, looks like Potassium, especially in the potato skin, is the key nutrient in a raw potato.
http://www.uspotatoes.com/downloads/...n_Messages.pdfPotassium – Good source of, contains or provides potassium. Cannot say excellent source of, high or rich in potassium. Must mention the inclusion of potato skin (e.g., “skin-on potatoes are a good source of potassium”).
- Potatoes rank highest for potassium content among the top 20 most frequently consumed raw vegetables and the top 20 most frequently consumed raw fruits (Source: DHHS FDA 21 CFR Part 101, Docket No. 2001N-0548, Food Labeling; Guidelines for Voluntary Nutrition Labeling of Raw Fruits, Vegetables, and Fish; Correction)
Maybe he just likes to play, (he needs something to bite?) or maybe he's looking to provide his body with ?
