Badgers are carnivorous. Their dominant prey are pocket gophers, ground squirrels, moles, marmots, prairie dogs, woodrats, kangaroo rats
The badger is an omnivore that eats almost anything edible, including fruits, roots, nuts, eggs, young birds, small animals, frogs, snails, worms, and insects.
Food and feeding behaviour
The badgers are members of the order carnivora, the flesh-eating mammals. An examination of a badger skull shows that they have the long, pointed canine teeth and jagged pre-molars that are typical of the carnivores. However, their molars or back teeth are rather different from those of most of the other carnivores. Instead of sharp, pointed teeth designed to cut through meat, there are broader and flatter teeth, more suited to crushing insects, molluscs and plant material. This suggests that the badgers are adapted to a more varied diet, and indeed the badgers are in fact omnivorous, and eat a wide variety of plant and animal food. However, animal food sources form the major part of the diet of all of the badger species.
The types of foods eaten by the world's badgers are as follows:
Roots, bulbs and tubers - Eurasian and hog badgers both dig and root about in the ground
Badgers {Meles, Arctonyx, Taxideaand Mellivora species} are short-legged and heavy-set creatures. Powerful diggers and take much of their food from underground.
The American Badger is a fossorial carnivore meaning much of its food comes from digging underground for mice, moles and rabbits in their dens.
The Eurasian badgers diet consists of earthworms, grubs and insects. They will take small mammals reptiles and birds along with fruit and seeds so are considered omnivore.
The Honey badger eats snakes, honey, the bee's that make the honey and various other insects and mammals.
The North American Badger is a fossorial carnivore. It preys predominantly on pocket gophers, ground squirrels, moles, marmots, prairie dogs, pika, woodrats, kangaroo rats, deer mice, and voles, often digging to pursue prey into their dens, and sometimes plugging tunnel entrances with objects. They also prey on ground-nesting birds such as bank swallow or sand martin and burrowing owl, lizards, amphibians, carrion, fish, skunks, insects, including bees and honeycomb and some plant foods such as maize, peas, green beans, mushrooms and other fungi, and sunflower seeds.

badgers will need to be fed 2-3 times a day. just think of them in the wild, there they eat all the time. maybe hide some of there food and let them try to find it, just like they would in the wildhope this answer helps :)
