It's not TOO unusual to see young hedgehogs after 7pm in summer. Providing it is moving normally and has no injuries, it will be fine. It will be looking for food, as they need to put on a lot of weight before winter. Also, because of the recent hot weather, it will be thirsty. Put a shallow dish of water out for it along with some meat-flavoured cat food.

You can buy hedgehog food from petshops or feed them sunflower hearts, raisins, mealworms or peanuts. |

It is one of this years' babies. A typical litter is 3-4, so it is highly possible there will be others.
You can try chopped peanuts, dried mealworms (or fresh, live mealworms), banana, raisens, and sunflower hearts.
