Amanda,
Out feeding in day is sign something is going on, The hedgehog looks like an hoglet, Judging by its size on video it won't be fit enough to hibernate without dying.
If it wasn't out during day I'd tell you give it few weeks and weight it before letting it go a rescue.
However on twitter lately with rescues I have been seeing alot of hogs dying after being brought in because being out in day people didn't know it was a problem.
While it's staying in your hog house it be easy to get in box and take to a rescue, Most rescue give you it back if nothing is up after giving it a good check over.
I took one of mine last week to be kept in over winter because it was way to small, Its best to get it check out then leaving it to late and feeling bad if it dies.
But hogs out in daytime even to eat isn't a very a good sign sadly 9 out of 10 times.
You are best off googling the local hedgehog rescue to you and giving them a call, If its an healthy hog you can pick it back up if its a sick hog it can get treatment in time.
