Playful Badger Cubs

I've been watching the badger cubs at Wildlife Aid Rescue Centre playing in their indoor and outdoor areas.
They are so playful and love to play chase.  Sometimes it's only two or three of them running around in a line but at others it seems as though all 14 (I think that's how many they are) of them are running around the area in a long line.  They also have a pool which they love to use to enjoy and it helps them to keep clean.
They have three long tubes which they love to run through and it's funny if you don't see them go in one end to see them suddenly come running out or to see a head peep out and slowly check around before exiting.
When they are inside their sleeping chambers they tend to sleep in one mound with a combination of heads, backs, tummies and feet visible.  As you watch you are likely to see the whole mound move and change position just because one of them needs a scratch or turn over.
They are very inquisitive animals and this makes them a joy to watch.
