have a look around for claw marks around the entrance to the hole ,also have a look for bedding.Badger clean out their sets and replace the bedding so it is often found outside the hole.The size of the entrance is often wider whan a badger is using it ,hope this helps a bit pal

Don't know what a badger set smells like but a foxes den can really stink. Just like the smell from your dogs when they've had a good roll in something you'd rather they hadn't. :sick:

fox earths stink of fox and badger ones have a rank smell to them....real greasy smell dirty smell. Foot prints are the best well to tell

[Guest jt750]

Foxes usually have bones outside the holes badger setts usually have a large spoil heaps outside the setts from where they've been tunneling and dragging clean bedding in . Foxes usually smell pretty badly and the area around the entrances smell. Badgers will dig a midden for them to use close to the entrance.

 

I've seen fox badger and rabbit all live in the same sett ...One close to me often has cubs in this time of year and badger has kitts in the same sett ..grumbling respect no doubt.

After '73 a lot of terrier men gave up because of the badger population explosion and them living in close quarters
