    Badger News

    They prefer Superdrugs...

    Badger falls through Northampton Superdrug shop ceiling - BBC News

    Staff working in a shop had a shock when they found a badger had fallen through the ceiling and landed behind a counter.

    The badger came through a ceiling panel in the Superdrug store in Northampton's Grosvenor Centre and then ran under the perfume counter.

    The Northamptonshire Badger Group was called to rescue the female animal and subsequently set it free.

    Sally Jones, from the group, said it was "the oddest rescue we've ever had".

    She said she did not know how the young female badger got into the shop on Sunday, which was closed to the public at the time.

    "There were four of our members there to catch the badger and we are really perplexed as to how it got into the Grosvenor Centre."

    Ms Jones said it was suggested it could have entered via ducts in the back of the shop and staff saw it "fall through the ceiling".

    Staff said the badger hit the floor and it "trundled off a bit dazed".

    Funny coincidence again. There was a tale on the local BBC news last night about a badger coming in through a cat flap to eat the cat food. It's now virtually a pet and gets on fine with the householders.

      That's what they think - It will probably start digging a massive badger sett under their house, and eventually cause very-expensive-to-fix subsidence!

        If they ask their neighbour they'll find they had a handyman in and he's a bit of a bodger.
        Maybe tomorrow, I'll want to settle down. Until tomorrow, I'll just keep moving on.
