Feeding Behaviors 

Honey Badgers are omnivores but tend to eat a more carnivorous diet. They boast a wide diet which consists of small rodents, large reptiles, berries, and a large variety of insects. Honey badgers also have a sweet tooth for honey, which is indicated by their name. 

Honey Badgers hunt their prey predominantly by digging. They have long nails which help them dig at very impressive rates. Their long nails also make them excellent climbers.  Combined with their sharp teeth, they can chomp through almost anything. 

Nutritional Ecology Classification

Honey badgers are omnivores but typically eat meat. They are discontinuous hunters which are primarily nocturnal hunters in the summer months but become diurnal in the winter months. Depending on their location, some Honey Badgers are nocturnal all year round if they are in close proximity to humans. When they are not hunting or traveling, Honey Badgers will hide in bushes and burrows.
