Before we got our dog we used to get badgers in the garden - they were a real pain digging up the lawn - so we left out nuts and brown bread for them instead and they came every night and brought the babies! Twas very cute - you could get really close to them too if you were quiet. There were two big ones, one medium-sized one, and four or five little ones. They made lots of noise and they used to push each other over to get at the food and they were very noisy eaters! hehe. And then when they left you could nip to the front of the house and just watch then scuttling off up the lane!
