Are Badgers Rodents

Badger is the common name for any animal of three subfamilies, which belong to the family Mustelidae: the same mammal family as the ferrets, the weasels, the otters, and several other types of carnivore. There are 8 species of badger, in three subfamilies: Melinae (the Eurasian badgers), Mellivorinae, (the Ratel or honey badger), and Taxideinae (the American badger). The Asiatic stink badgers of the genus Mydaus were formerly included in the Melinae, but recent genetic evidence indicates that these are actually Old World relatives of the skunks (family Mephitidae).
I love the badger movie, i think someone already posted it above me lol

A badger is a mammal, not a rodent. It's carnivorous so if you see one stay away from it. Also they have strong claws and are super fast so yeah...dangerous. Not vicious by instinct but if they see the need to defend them selves or have been in previous situations they might or will attack

I do not think that badgers are members of the rodent family - but I stand to be corrected. They are large creatures and are quite shy.
Have a look at this website:-

European badgers aren't rodents. They are Mustelidae, the same family as weasels and stoats.
They are omnivorous and will eat pretty much anything including earthworms, snails, carrion, bulbs and roots.

It's a mammel. See if that article makes any sense to you. For some reason it's just going in one eye and out the other for me.

Mustelidae, same family as stoats, ferrets, and otters. The larger grouping is Carnivora, with cats and dogs and bears and seals.
