Hi Kodi
There is some information about hedgehogs out during daylight here :
https://www.hedgehogstreet.org/sick-or-injured-hedgehog/
Please follow the advice there, if necessary.
There isn’t a correct portion size, as such – feeding hedgehogs should be supplementary to what they can find for themselves, so making your garden hedgehog friendly is important. But what you describe doesn’t sound too much. Sometimes it’s a matter of ‘playing it by ear’ ie. if you try offering a bit more and it gets left, leave a bit less. Any food that is left out should be to be eaten overnight.
The most important thing is to make sure there is a constant supply of water available – all day every day – including during Winter. Hogs can often find some wild food but not always water which they drink a fair amount of.
Also make sure the hogs have access to other gardens via hedgehog highways.
Good luck and happy hog watching!
