BadgerCubCam

One of the cubs is a real nuisance to the other.  My guess is that the troublemaker is male and perhaps the other, who tries to ignore him, is female.  Compared with the fox cubs the badgers are clumsy and ungainly but they are very amusing.  Most of the recent recordings have been in daylight.  Here is an example of what the naughty cub gets up to.


Another time they tried to help mum with the housework without much success.



One thing badgers like more than almost anything else is peanuts.  On one occasion I left a few outside the sett as a thank you for the videos I have recorded so far.  One of the cubs found them first and kept going back in to tell the others.  Eventually they came out to see what all the fuss was about.  The whole episode lasted almost half an hour but I have speeded it up so here it takes only one minute to watch.
