Characterized by digging or burrowing activity; describing animals that dig.
From Latin 'fodient-' (digging), from the verb 'fodere' (to dig), related to scientific terminology for animals' burrowing behavior.
Zoologists use 'fodient' in taxonomy to describe creatures from moles to badgers—it's one of those Latin-derived scientific adjectives that sounds fancy but simply means 'good at digging'.
