No, they're the same as I feed to the birds (in suitable containers) but, of necessity, bought in bulk.

From the Woodland Trust website...

What can I feed badgers?

If you have badgers visiting your garden, they can make fascinating guests. Their presence produces a wide and varied response from gardeners; some consider them a nuisance as they may root up flower bulbs, eat fruit and vegetables, and dig up lawns.

But if you enjoy seeing badgers in your garden, there's a range of suitable foods that you can put out.

Since they eat such a wide diversity of foods, they will probably eat most of what you put out for them (or for the birds, or hedgehogs, or the dog), but it's best to stick to foods that most closely match their natural diet.

Fruit - grapes, apples, pears, plums

Raw peanuts or brazil nuts (no salt or chocolate)

Dried dog food (muesli type)

Mealworms

Peanut butter (unsalted, sugar-free)

Not quite formation foraging but here's mum plus three sampling my largesse ten days ago.

Pete and I saw an Eastern Coyote yesterday. This is the best picture I could get. He was a very tall loping animal, filling that wolf niche...
