Hi Vicky

Some of the males may have started hibernating already. They tend to hibernate much earlier than the females and also emerge earlier in the Spring. So the hedgehog may be hibernating. I would continue leaving food, as well as water, available for a while in case he re-appears. Also sometimes hoglets turn up at this time of year.

Good luck.
