Bob and the Badgers is the sixth episode of the seventh season.

Plot

Bob is unable to install a cat-flap for Pilchard when he has to build a fence to keep a herd of rabbits out of Farmer Pickles' lettuce patch. But the fence blocks the path of badgers getting to the stream, and so the badgers knock the fence down, allowing the rabbits to invade the lettuce patch again. When Bob actually installs Pilchard's cat-flap, it gives him an idea for a compromise: he builds a flap in the fence for the badgers to get through without knocking the fence down and the rabbits getting into the lettuce patch.
