Badgers are known for their big appetites but usually prefer to eat earthworms – and are able to eat several hundred of them every day.
Because they are omnivorous they will eat almost anything, from meat and fruit to bulbs and birds’ eggs.
In times of food shortage, badgers may also raid bins in search of food.
