Fairytale European Badger Habitat

Fir lake zoo recently teamed up with children in the local areas to design a fairytale-inspired habitat for the European Badgers. Guests' donations in this habitat go to a fund that aims to safeguard the environment for future generations.

The first thing the children wanted are mushroom houses. Our habitat designer originally only made decorative ones. However, the children insisted on having mushrooms that the badgers can live in. After hours of hard work, our team created artifical burrows with a mushroom entryway. Our team were initially sceptical whether the badgers would accept their new homes with such non-discreet colours. However, after a few days, the badgers made these two burrows their new homes.

Frequented by families near and far, this popular habitat has a little-known secret. Legend has it that between the hours of sunset and twilight, children and those pure of heart can see magical creatures in and around this enchanted mushroom forest.

Notes:
1) Both decorated burrows and water pipes are functional and can be accessed by badgers (see screenshots of badgers entering and exiting both burrows, badgers drinking, and traversable terrain heatmap).
2) Enrichment items included, so you will need research to place this habitat.
3) This habitat can hold five adults and some junveniles while satisfying all their needs.
4) For perfect placement, please see the last photo for instructions (after placement, only the 'show me' sign should be visible, both 'hide me' and pink rectange should be totally invisible. It may take several tries to get to just the right spot).
5) The following blueprint items are used in this habitat, for the tiny huts and the smaller mushrooms.
