There are two types of body shapes for hedgehogs. A nice teardrop shape (more plump) and a runner body style (lean and thin). Runner styles often look long, thin and like they are running on stilts.
To determine if she is too thin, look at her from above, do her sides sink inward, is her hips sticking out?
Poptart has a runner body style, she's been a real challenge to keep weight on as she does run non-stop most of the night. I've actually had to give her a higher fat kibble to keep her weight from plummeting even further.
