Rats!

No, really!
The mention of the cultured rats on someone else's post caught my attention! And reminded me of the nibbled bar.
Here at my younger son's house there's not much space for curing my soap, so I decided to put it in the garage on a wooden chest that no one likes. There's nothing noxious being stored in there, it's mostly lumber and toys.
A cpl, 3 weeks later I went to check on it and found that one of my 25% salt bars had been nibbled on. I was more amused than disgusted, but decided to move my soap regardless. Left the one nibbled soap bar behind.
I went back to check on it again a cpl of weeks later and, funnily enough, only a few more nibbles had been taken of it. I guess the first biter had learned its lesson, but it took only one more critter for the family to be convinced that this particular sweet wasn't good for the digestion.

Aww, some rats with good taste for the savoury!
Idk if it's a good idea to put something like a mineral lick somewhere nearby. Might distract from soap, but might as well attract more wildlife, not all of which is exactly welcome.

ETA: That story reminds me of ibex craving for salt.

@ResolvableOwl the soap has been put to cure inside the house. My son has become protective of it, seeing as how he loves the way it leaves his skin.
As for the wildlife, the corn fields just beyond our property is now beginning to ripen. There's much more delicious fare out than in!
