A hedgehog has wandered into our garden and I just want to check if its okay, or needs anything extra.

We rarely get them in our area so this is the first time seeing one. It's just hit a heatwave in the UK hitting 27 degrees so maybe he wandered in for the shade. I gave him some water in a shallow saucer, but we don't have any food that was hedgehog friendly.

One thing im concerned about is if he's okay on the patio. He must have crawled under our gate to get in, but our garden is 3 levels and the grass and plants are only at the top, so I don't know whether to put him up in the grass or thats bad because it takes him away from his entry point if he wants to leave.

Any advice would be appreciated, thank you.
