I bought the metasequoia as a forest of 5 in a much smaller pot, one did not make it through the winter, i wanna wrestle them apart but they are really really tangled I'm worried I'll kill them. Haven't found the courage to do it yet

I've been seeing this hedgehog around my yard more frequently over the past few weeks. I have a relatively large backyard with loads of plants, bugs etc. The backyard however, is fenced in so my dogs (Chihuahua sized) can't escape into the neighbors yards. 2/3 walls are brick, and 1/3 is a hedge with chicken wire at the bottom that does not stick in the dirt and can potentially be dug under. We did a check of the chicken wire fence and didn't find any obvious holes through which it may have gotten in, so I'm worried it might not be able to get out again.

I have multiple dishes with water sitting on the ground (i use them to bottom water my plants) so it might be coming to drink from those. When i took this picture it was balled up because my dogs found it and scared it. It was trying to intimidate them by huffing at them. It seems healthy but it's rather small so I don't know if it's okay or not. Should i dig a hole for it so it can get out? Can it dig one himself?
