Badger Problem

Posts: 117 Forumite
A badger broke into my house the other night. I tried to chase it out but it managed to battle it way to the first floor and has now taken over it. I now occupy the ground floor and the badger the first floor of my 3 bedroom semi.
Tried calling the RCPCA but they don’t believe me; it’s making my life a misery. Came home last night to discover that it raided my fridge and eat the Finders Crispy ‘3 cheese’ pancake that I had saved for tea. It’s doing my head in, should I shoot it?

Shoot it and eat it in place of your crispy pancakes.
Why not charge it rent and make some money.0 -
I'd say it's done you a favour by eating that pancake!0

Maybe it heard about the mass badger cull that we're about to have here and did a runner.
Mind you, I doubt it'll stay long - there's barely any filling or nutrients in a crispy pancake."I'm ready for my close-up Mr. DeMille...."0 -
I googled 'What do badgers eat?' Turns out that they'll 'eat almost anything'. That accounts for the crispy pancake then.

Ring the RSPCA again, tell them you rang earlier about a badger in your house but now you dont need them as you've solved the problem by shooting it.. They will soon be overComping again0

No I dont own a gun. However, I plan to buy one. I will put it on my interest free credit card and then "stooze" at a later date.0

Best get some more pancakes in, just in case ratty, mole and Mr.Toad, turn up0

can you throw a blanket over it and scoop it up or something.0

So it ate a frozen Findus Crispy pancake???
Or did it put the oven on and heat it up?
My suggestion - put another crispy pancake right at the back of the fridge and hide. When Brock comes down for his snack and goes in the freezer push the door closed with a long handled brush.
Job's a good 'un!0
