Do badgers have fleas and lice and things?
Yes they can do (generally). Their thick fur can be home for all manner of creepy-crawlies (ticks, fleas and lice). These are not a problem if a badger is coming to your garden (as the creepy crawlies like to stay on the warm badger rather than your cold stone or concrete patio). However, having wild badgers in the house is generally a very bad idea, due to the risk of any fleas or lice getting on to your carpet and infecting your house. Also, allowing wild badgers in the house may be a breach of the badger protection legislation. Also, too, if the badger should start to “musk” on your furnishings, you may have a heck of a job getting rid of the smell.
