If you're going to take on the mantle of a carer, I'm afraid you've got to be prepared to take the knocks as well as the triumphs, so "Be strong, grasshopper!"

So glad to hear Spikey's back in Town, but then again, when he goes walkabout once more (as he inevitably will), don't be too downhearted.
Nutkin sounds like a weird sort of hedgehog, not eating meat. I take it you've offered him/her 'proper' meat, not just meat-flavoured biscuits etc? Odd, but interesting!
I think you're right not to dive in and abduct the fellah/lass for weighing just yet, as there should be a good month or so before conditions start to become touch-and-go for hedgies' weight - also it'd be a betrayal of faith if you put him/her off (what may become) their cosy new des res.
As Ian Hislop said on HIGNFY recently, "you don't fatten a pig by constantly weighing it".
