Lethargy, decreased appetite, smelly (and I mean REALLY smelly) poo. Sometimes (in severe cases, or with certain worms) the poo's will have worms in them. But above all, just know your cham, keep him/her clean, and watch for any abnormal behavior. Remember, most of the times, by the time they are showing it is pretty bad, which is why it's important to know your cham

Most of the time there's no symptoms at all. That's why I recommend regular fecals.

Having the vet run a fecal exam for parasites isn't very expensive, it's about $20 at our vet. That could give you peace of mind.
