Can anyone give me some advice please. We have badgers that live on the edge of our land within our boundary fence line, they were there before we were so we put some electric fence around their "home" to keep the horses out and looked forward to co-existing. We run our horses on a track system which runs around the perimeter of our land leaving the bit in the middle for hay etc.
We discovered the badgers had dug 3 large holes that were pretty much vertical on the track that the horses use - obvious danger. We filled them in with muck. They dug this out so we filled it in with hard core left over from the hard standing we had put in and we topped it off with more muck. I just want to say here that on the other side of the fence is a farmers crop field so they had other options.
Anyway they are starting to dig this out. We turn up in the morning and we find that they have created a little hole next to the filled in big hole which then got bigger and bigger so we are pretty much filling daily. Kinda reminds of the Jasper Carrot sketch with the moles - if your around my age you'll get that one.
Anyway you get the problem. I don't want to get rid of the badgers I love badgers but also love my horses and don't want them breaking their legs because of these holes.
Anyone had the same problem or knows anything about co-existing with beautiful badgers.
