Hmmm ... could it be that they are trying to bite their thumb because they're 'indecise' (that is that they haven't decided between or among 'what to do' yet)? Or maybe they are just 'doing it' out of HABIT.

They are hungry and would like to eat a thumb.

I think that just means the person is nervous.
