Sorry to badger you: Does anyone have a badger puppet?

I have written a parody song about having a badger stuck in my car. It's set to Thompson Twins - Stay With Me. I am working on the video part, and for the end of it, and I was hoping someone has a badger puppet and wouldn't mind doing a short 5-10 second video. Just rock side to side, and when it's time, just have them talk to the lyrics. I can loop it after.

If you have a qualified badger please be in touch, otherwise kindly spread the word about the badgers.

Thank you for your time

Anyone know what time of evening is best to view badgers at this time of year?

I know of a sett nearby but am unsure when they actually emerge at this time of year. Stuff online says be there before sunset but that's only about 5:30pm which seems quite early. One of the websites I stumbled upon had them coming out around 7-9pm later in the year. Anyone with experience able to offer advice?

Thanks

Places to meet / play with Badgers in the UK?

Hi there :)

I absolutely adore European badgers and would love to interact with some while I'm in the UK this September. Are there any places where one can interact with, I suppose, badgers that are not candidates for releasing into the wild?

I know badgers are both protected and still quite maligned within the UK, so I'm optimistic that some wildlife centers exist in the UK to inform and educate the public about them.

Thank you! 🧡
