Badger Question Survey

Hi, I'm a student from Ireland studying badgers and the spread of bTB. If you could fill out this survey I'd really appreciate it.

Sorry if this is against the rules, I messaged a mod but never heard back.

Thanks again 🦡

Question about Badgers

I’ve been leaving food out for the badgers for a long time , I love seeing them strolling up the drive, having a monch and toddling off. However. Does anyone else experience the badgers emptying the food out of the bowl and running off with the bowl ? I’ve lost about 10 bowls so far! They are only pound shop bowls, but I would be curious to know why they do this?

So I heard y'all like badgers...

...and thought I'd introduce you to my little pal. We found his sett in some nearby woods recently and spent a week getting close enough for this picture.

Enjoy!
