I had the exact same problem until I switched to direct burial
flooded RG-6. Never another chewed cable after that. It is laying on
the ground in the woods just like the previous regular varieties of
coax. I don't think it can be the flooding compound unless they can
small it through the jacket. Nothing has ever bitten into it. The
jacket is also a different material (I would have to look it up). I
presume for whatever reason this stuff just doesn't smell good to
rodents or deer.

I gave up on my beverages deep, deep in the woods many years ago.
The foxes, squirrels, mice, coyotes, skunks and squirrels LOVED
RG-6 - both in the quad-shield and regular flavors.
