Hi, I think they can have maybe 7-8 babies in a litter, but they’re doing well to get more than three or so old enough to be independent. So the five or six hoglets you have seen are probably from two or more litters, especially if they are wandering around without their mum.
You can offer them meaty dog or cat food (there’s also hedgehog food but dog or cat food is easier to get) and please make sure they have access to water- a shallow bowl like a plant saucer is perfect for this.
