Are badgers sapient in Middle Earth?

They seem kind of anthropomorphic in the Tom Bombadil poem, but outside of that I haven't seen anything further about that. But since Tom Bombadil is a magical being I'm assuming he can talk to anything in nature.

I'd guess they're at roughly the same level as the thrush in The Hobbit and moth in Lord of the Rings.

I remember in the book Tom was telling the hobbits a tale about badgers.
