What are signs of cancer in hedgehogs

It depends on what type of cancer you are talking about. Cancer is a general term. The symptoms vary widely depending on the type of cancer. If you are referring to that lump on the side, yes, it could be cancer but it could also be an abscess (infection) or a cyst. I suggest you have her examined by a vet - it should be easy to distinguish what it is based on an exam and an aspirate of the lump.
