Lots of earthworms, largest part of their diet.
They are classed as carnivores but will eat almost anything, love peanuts.
When few earthworms will eat snails and slugs. Also eat carrion, carrots, young birds, eggs, acorns, berries, windfall apples, and will push over beehives to get the honey.
If it is edible they will eat it, but do seem to have preferences eg worms. As a result a badger lat is not a pretty sight.
