Yes badgers do eat hedgehogs as witnessed by my son last night in our back garden!!.

They will kill and eat them, particularly when other food is scarce. Although they prefer worms they will eat other small mammals and have leant to to use their long claws and powerful feet to "open up" a hedgehog - even if it has wrapped itself up into a tight prickly ball.

Not all badgers have leant this technique fortunately but the lack of cover and hiding places, loss of hedgerows etc. is making life difficult for the poor hedgehog.
