Badger sow gave birth to triplets. This compilation of videos from my trail camera shows the moments when the baby badgers were taken out of the sett by their mother for the first time.
The fur balls are still little and a bit clumsy, but they’re already exploring the immediate surrounding of their sett. On the first night out, one of them even managed to wander off a bit too far and mom had to pick him up by the neck and drag him back. Lesson learned… hopefully!
All three look healthy and are absolutely beautiful. This is a rare opportunity to observe the life of wild animals from the moment it has begun. The female now has a tough job ahead of her, but the babies will grow up fast and… well, we’ll see what happens. Exciting times ahead.
