I'd suggest asking Weston Park Museum in Sheffield, I remember they used to have one in a display of native wildlife before the rejig, along with a flat-out hare that looked like it had been smoking something interesting....

I know I am getting on a bit, but don't feel like being stuffed just yet

Oh. Might have been able to find one to loan but not keep. I've only got skulls myself.

How do you stuff a hare that's been run over?

Flat out as in laid on its side, not squashed.... :ras: Going back to badgers, I do see quite a few as roadkill in the Peak but they get extremely wiffy very fast so probably not suitable for DIY taxidermy!

We could stuff you with food and display you behind the bar at Hidden Earth!

I was going to suggest  the man in Llangollen too. Next door to the Bridge End Pub. No prizes for guessing where to look!

Weirdly, I came across a stuffed badger for sale today and remembered this thread. If OP still wants one, the antique warehouse that used to be Daleswear in Ingleton has a taxidermy room, complete with stuffed badger.
