Simoman 110 Posted September 24, 2008 Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 Personally i would be thankful that they had chosen my garden to visit. Why not make the badgers a "gate" so they can enter the garden without causing damage. You are lucky to have a badger so close, and im sure if you fed them regularlly they would provide great photo opportunities...JD Yep, I'd welcome them here, kids would love it Quote Link to post Share on other sites

neil cooney 10,416 Posted September 24, 2008 Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 You mightn't be too happy if you've a nice lawn and the badgers start looking for worms in it. Although I'd be more concerned about the fox taking your chickens. Human pee, human hair and lol, human poo, all old wives tales. They might have worked at some time when every mans hand was against vermin but nowadays ,no. Badgers might be strong animals but if they're getting through a hole in the fence IMO your not doing a good enough job in mending it. And don't think the badger wouldn't have an eye on your chickens either. Mending a hole in the fence wont stop the fox, he'll just clear the fence. So security in your hen house is a must. IMO if you spooked the badgers yourself a few times they'd find pasture elsewhere to hunt. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest foxyjo. Posted September 24, 2008 Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 Adam!!! That's most unsporting of you... My Grandma has one that keeps coming in the garden at the moment. She doesn't mind except it poos on the patio and she lets her dog out, who then rolls in it, or treads in it, and then comes in the house!! She's a little bit hobbley now, so it generally falls to someone else to clear up the mess...that's not so funny cos it's normally me... He also trashes the dustbins and has made a hole in the wire in the hedge which all the dogs now get through we have a lot of badgers round here, and whilst I'm always pleased to see them, not sure having them in the garden's great!! When I was little I was given a poodle, and the badger that used to come visiting then used to chase her back into the house Quote Link to post Share on other sites

J Darcy 5,871 Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 Well WILF has had trouble with swathes of asian males visiting his lass at night. She pissed her pants but they still keep coming. So this obvioiusly doesnt work with humans... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
neil cooney 10,416 Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 It's hard to believe all the old wives tales that are still thrown around ie. the piss and human hair thing and I'd rather have a badger problem than gathering human No.2. If you have badgers in your garden DO NOT let your dog out unless he has socks on with cinders in them. Oh yeh, and put sticks down your boots, LOL. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
