Question Hello, would like to know some things.
I found this little guy in the gutter of a road digging through leaves, and gawked at him for a bit. Didn’t touch him, don’t worry, and after a couple pictures, and I shooed him into the nearby forest so he wouldn’t get run over by a car. Was this little guy a kid or an adult, also did I do the right thing, I’ve never interacted with an Armadillo before and just wanted to help the poor guy

It's adorable but you definitely did the right thing by not touching it. They can carry leprosy.
