*bobstar*   10 #14 Posted October 23, 2010 I have known for nearly a year that badgers live in our garden. They started with the lawn – holes in the lawn, about the circumference and depth of a yoghurt pot.  Then in Summer I discovered three large holes in a hidden corner of the garden that must be the sett.  I have just seen my first live badger at 9:30 in the evening walking across the lawn, fully floodlit.  I think its amazing - I know some of you will not!  Its amazing. Well done and enjoy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
danensis   10 #15 Posted October 24, 2010 If its a standard yogurt pot then its not a badger. There tunnels are more like a foot across. They're the size of a small dog. Yogurt pot holes sound more like rats.  John Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

We get the same sort of holes in the lawn and it's badgers digging for worms and leatherjackets. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

chocki   13 #24 Posted November 9, 2011 Well I have seen my first live badger tonight. I was at a friends house and the back of the house lit up, I looked out of the window and there was a badger - a HUGE badger. I jumped back in shock. It was massive! I always thought they were little, cutie things. Oh no, not anymore. I daren't let my cat out at night now cos she would be no competition for a badger that size. WOW, I still can't believe I saw it.
