American Badger

* Welcome to the Farm
== Other info ==
They spend most of the winter sleeping inside their burrow, except for the warmest days of winter on which the badgers may come out. The mother badger does not become pregnant until 4 months and 2 weeks to 7 months, 1 week and 3 days after having last met with the father of her cubs. Before her cubs are born, the mother badger will line her burrow with grass to prepare for the arrival of her cubs. 
Badger cubs are born with their eyes shut tight and with only a thin coat of fur, heavily dependent on their mother to survive. At the age of 1 month to 1 month and 2 weeks, their eyes open for the first time and not long after they will venture out of the burrow for the first time. They are weaned at the age of 2-3 months and become fully independent from their mother at the age of 5-6 months.
