   Where do Badgers dig?

   What is a badger sett?

   • The sett consists of large chambers for sleeping and breeding and small ones used as latrines, interlinked by a maze of tunnels. A really big sett can have from 50 to 100 or more entrance holes. A sett this big will have been dug out by lots of badgers, over many years. There are some setts which are known to be over a hundred years old.

   Do badgers live in holes?

   • Many animals live in holes, but there are some features of badger setts to look out for. Badger setts are very extensive underground. Some have up to 300m of tunnels – far more than rabbits or foxes. The badgers have to shift a lot of soil, and this means that badger setts usually have substantial spoil heaps outside.
