February is cub season for badgers.
Mums with babies only ever go a 500metre distance from their cubs.
If you see a badger newly dead by the roadside please check for lactation (bare area around swollen teats on her underside). *
Her cubs have 24 hours before they leave the set in search of mum, and they will die of hypothermia.

Please please share, or post your own toot. Xx
