Observation Badger Sett - Temporary Closed Due to Cubs!

We are thrilled to report that our female badger has very recently given birth to cubs.
To give her the peace and privacy to care for them in their early weeks, we have temporarily closed our Observation Badger Sett. The sett will reopen when the cubs are a little older.
You may still see badgers out in their enclosure late in the day when they are most active.
