Slurping the longest worm ever! 🪱🦡

Thank you Chris for sharing this footage with us.

At the end of 2025, the Government committed to banning snares as part of its Animal Welfare Strategy.

Yet here we are, still waiting for that promise to become law.

Please contact your MP and urge them to bring forward a full ban on snares, to protect badgers and all wildlife.

🎨 Today we’re celebrating #WorldArtDay — and what better way than by shining a spotlight on the incredible artists who’ve put their talent to work for wildlife! 🦡💚

This month, badger cubs will have a fully developed set of teeth. They'll enjoy trying new food, especially worms, which Mama badger will regurgitate or carry to them 🪱

Adult badgers will drag green vegetation into their setts. This is because cubs aren't able to regulate their temperature, so as the vegetation decomposes in the setts, it will warm the young up on cold, spring evenings.
