Badgers 101
Ranked #3,082 in Pets & Animals, #78,967 overall
Badgers are very tidy animals. Learn about the Badger.
Badgers are nocturnal and rarely seen during the day. When not active, badgers usually lie up in an extensive system of underground tunnels and nesting chambers, known as a sett. Occasionally, when the weather is particularly hot, badgers may briefly come above ground during daytime. The badger's most important food is earthworms, which are caught on pasture or in deciduous woodland, especially on wet nights. Other foods include bulbs (though not bluebells as commonly thought), small mammals and young rabbits. Blackberries and windfall apples are major food sources in the autumn. Cereals, particularly wheat, may be eaten, especially if other foods are in short supply.

- Badgers are very tidy animals. They spend a lot of time transporting grass, straw, moss or bracken to and from their sleeping chambers deep in the sett.
- Setts are handed down like family houses from generation to generation, and the badger uses the same sett year after year.

Still at home in the Badger State Badgers are natives of the tallgrass prairie and savanna in the southern and sandy central part of the state. "Badgers dig mostly on the sides of the tunnel, which is why their excavations are typically a horizontal oval with numerous claw marks on the side. Badgers are most common in sandy central and western Wisconsin, but in the past decade they have been sighted in every county except Milwaukee.
