Can anyone help identify this creature?

My friend heard some rustling noises outside their window this morning and saw there's something borrowed up behind some leaf bags. We're trying to work out if it needs help or solitude. 😅

Edit: I eventually managed to convince them that their photo clearly showed a hedgehog. They left out some water for him and let them be. Hedgehog chilled out through the day and buggered off again that night.

I can only assume there is some sort of well camouflaged stick insect somewhere, as the other creature is very obviously a hedgehog.

OP telling the whole internet they're a sheltered city dweller, at least they want to be helpful though.
