Hi arttheanimator
Normally a hedgehog out during the day would ring alarm bells that it might need help. But, correct me if I’m wrong, but it sounds from what you say that this particular hedgehog has been out and about during the day for a long time i.e. I am imagining weeks or months? In which case, it’s possible if people have been regularly feeding it during the day and not at night, that it might be learned behaviour.
However, if at any time you are concerned about the hedgehog (or any hedgehog) you can find the contact details of your nearest hedgehog carer by ringing BHPS on 01584 890801. It might be worth ringing up, anyway, and having a chat with a carer about this hedgehog – then you can describe things in more detail to them and take their advice.
