Seriously, I do, or at least I think so. I want to either raise one from a cub or get one that is already well socialized. Is such a thing even possible?

Absolutely nothing bad can come from this happening.

I think you'd do better to take up kicking hornet's nests for fun, frankly.

At least the hornets won't go digging up your property like the badger will...and you cannot stop a badger from digging. It's what they do.

They do have glands like a skunk correct?  I would be put off my that alone.

The honey badger can scrape through your walls and floors. It would be a poor decision of a house pet.

By all means, it's one of the most domesticated creatures on earth, right behind Poodles and goldfish.

Put honey badger in basement.
Leave for 5 minutes to fix honey badger a sandwich.
Find honey badger in woods behind house.

Something like that.

That was awesome.

Loved the guilty look on the badgers face when he was caught escaping. Just like a dag.

I didn't know they were that smart.  Cute, clever, and no fucks given.

Have you checked the laws in your area concerning wild animals as pets?

Get a wolverine instead. Honey badgers don't have the temperament for domestication. A wolverine will be much more tame and they love hugs and kisses.
