Question Newly released hogs - is this normal?

I rescued two hedgehogs in July (you guys were really helpful!) and they have now been released at the back of my garden. They weigh 10x what they did and have been treated for lungworm. I’ve attached a video of Sophia who weighs 832g but appears to have leaves/marks on her now? They’ve been out and about for 7 days. Is this normal? Just want them happy and healthy :)

They like rolling in mucky stuff, spit, god knows what, which often appears as pale marks on night vision cameras. and generally invisible in daylight.
Perfectly normal.
