Certainly not a badger.

Possibilities: dog, fox, cat, marten.

What are the dimensions of the prints? (ALWAYS mention these; best is to put something recognizable in the picture, like an Euro-coin).

Seeing this just now.
I wonder why Rob Koelman rules the badger out ? Though the sizes are lacking, the prints seem very broad in relation to the length, which is rather typical for badger. I would rule out a cat as there is a hint of nail prints visible.
From my limited experience I would also name it badger prints, but then print can be misleading soetimes.

The picture shows two partly overlapping prints, not a single broad one...
