I love that on DS you get threads like "what poo is this please" and a long thread of serious answers.

Just thinking that, I know of no other forum that could do this LOL.

They tend to eat more fruit.
Bodgers are carnivores.

Bodgers may well be carnivores, but badgers are mostly omnivorous. It looks like Badger poo to me too.

I felt very sad when I saw a dead badger at the side of the road the other day, but then was remembering someone's post on here about badger attack on chicken run.

I know we have a couple of foxes visiting - I had a difficult day yestserday and had to make the choice between letting my New Crazy Leghorns out to be eaten by predators or leaving them inside to eat each-other, because they are vent-pecking like mad

.

I've found fox-poo around and about before, but nothing like this. I will ask my Mama today - she kept an orphan badger as a pet for a couple of years before it grew up and went back to the wild. She was away yesterday though

Thanks for all the input.

I have no sense of smell - which in most cases is an advantage!

Badgers and foxes both go for fallen fruit, badgers also grab any grapes they can reach too.

Sometimes - but not when food burns, electric smells, gas if we had any, and smells associated with children and animals in the house - because sometimes you might have visitors....and those like off-gassing plastics that make your eyes stream and set you off sneezing. I miss not being able to smell if milk or food are turning...and the smell of the hives.

About the badger bit - we have loads and they always use latrines (unlike foxes). Dogs generally roll in fox and it is plain awful - tomato ketchup does the trick but don't take bottle to dog if you intend to use it for food purposes afterwards
