Badgers are the only natural predator for hedgehogs and it’s normal for hogs to leave an area frequented by badgers.
While most badgers will leave hogs alone if there is enough food around, it’s not guaranteed and young badgers especially may just play with them for sport.
Personally I would not continue to feed in an area which has badgers as you are setting up to fail, unfairly in my opinion.
The badger unrolls a hog and eats it’s stomach and what it can reach – you can only imagine the suffering
