Badger Magoo's growing up

Badger Magoo is back and better than ever! He's almost eight months old and is fat and happy, (and beautiful!), here at Animal Ed.ventures. The pen described here is only his temporary "digs" until his 1 acre habitat can be built. We are in the process of trying to raise $3,000.00 to complete it. If you or anyone you know would like to be a part of this amazingly awsome creation you can donate to the build-a-badger-a-habitat-fund at www.animal-edventures.org. Every tiny bit gets us that much closer to a whole acre of digging, burying ,climbing logs, and fun for Magoo the badger!
Stay tuned to BAAD RAM TV for more Badger Magoo and to meet the other animals of the Animal Ed.ventures Sanctuary, Interactive Zoo, and Educational Outreach Center ...

Awwww - he may look like a carpet, but does he look angry?? Most people really wouldn't want to, and SHOULDN'T, have a badger as a "pet". They are difficult to maintain as far as their housing requirements, early-training needs, predatory behaviors, etc...Magoo was unique and is here to share an amazing side of a species that most people may never see in their lifetime.

looks cute, but really, that's one powerful animal there; badger can be very dangerous; good for them :)

[BaadRam]

@bbphnix Yes - a cornered wild badger is powerful and dangerous. Mostly Badgers are very shy and would rather not be noticed at all than have to fight. I would say they are not so much aggressive(as most people think), but actually defensive.

[BaadRam]

Yes - a very happy badger - we named him Magoo because he was so little when he came - just barely opened his eyes - and for the longest time he would get excited while he was playing and run so fast he'd crash into the furniture.

i love badgers i have to know where you got him please send me a massage on haw to get one i have looked all over please help me get one thx.

I find their behaviour very similar to wolverines, probably because both belong to the weasel family. The ones I've seen that were hand-raised by humans seem to love all the hands-on attention, and seem very affectionate. I wish people would leave them alone- the mere mention of a badger around here will send a bunch of louts with guns looking for it.

A thousand pounds of dirt? really..

we had to cage him because he was pretty hard on the local population. lol i thought that was hilarious!
