your mrs sent me some videos of this fella the other night it was amazing how tame it is

 

[Taz]

i'd not put my fingers near it though

 

[ekimj10]

He's a very noisy eater, or is that someone out of picture?
Good looking animals and very powerful by all accounts. Thanks for showing.

I'd be a bit careful old chap Badgers are notoriously short sighted and have an incredibly powerful bite. He may just mistake your little pink digit for a tasty worm

He would not last long around here before he was given a sleeping pill to cure his TB.I have lived in the country or near to most off my life and i was about 25 before i saw my first live one,now you see dead ones all the time.I think the farmers kill them and dump them on the side of the road so it looks like road kill.

Very cool vid for us suburban ranchoes. There's cute and there's wild and never the two shall meet. Keep your fingers well clear. :wink:

Brilliant film OP!

It doesn't even look very dark - I thought they were nocturnal?

Cheers, when we returned to the lodge last night around 9:00 I looked out and he was on the decking looking at me though the window. I guess years of successive holidaymakers feeling them has altered their habits. Here's last nights feeding - enjoy
