Badger Habitat

Badgers typically inhabit a variety of landscapes including grasslands, woodlands, and farmland, often favoring areas with sufficient cover such as dense vegetation or soil suitable for digging. They establish extensive burrow systems called setts, which they renovate and expand over time, providing shelter and a place to rear young. These habitats offer access to food sources like Earthworms, insects, small mammals, and roots. Badgers prefer habitats with a mix of open ground and underground cover, and their presence can indicate healthy ecosystems. They adapt to different environments but require secure, undisturbed areas for foraging and breeding.
