Badgers are omnivorous animals that feed on a variety of small items. Their diet mainly consists of small rodents such as voles, squirrels, rabbits, and mice. They also eat amphibians, reptiles, and insects. Badgers are known for their fondness for earthworms, which they find by digging through soil with their powerful claws. They will also feed on fruits and berries when they are in season. In times of scarcity, badgers may also scavenge on carrion or eat other small animals like birds and fish. Overall, the badger's diet is diverse and adaptable to the availability of food sources in its habitat.
