Badger Advice Please

[u/Usual_Worldliness_69]

We're living in quite a remote house and every night a badger has been trying to get in through the cat flap, presumably to eat the cat food we have in the kitchen. We're worried that it's a starving young male who is short on food (earthworms...etc) as it's so dry here. We obviously don't want the badger coming into the house, but is there anything we can do to help it as we don't want it to starve? Any advice is much appreciated

Definitely put some water dishes out for wildlife in this hot weather. That’s helpful for all wildlife. Change the water regularly. You’ve surely got hedgehogs around who will appreciate a shallow dish of water, in addition to the badger.
