Hi Kerry

Do not stop feeding and giving water. It is obviously relying on your help here.
Hedgehogs don’t just go into hibernation they have to prepare their bodies for it and yours obviously isn’t
You could try putting out lukewarm ( not hot ) water in the evening it won’t freeze so quickly. Also check it before going to bed You could also try putting a thin layer of straw over the water/food as that will insulate it a bit while it’s so cold, but the hog will still be able to get at it
Good luck

Hedgehog
