I believe with other worms, they will start to lose weight even though they are eating normally.
Oh yes!!! We didn't realize that Chewie had worms when we first brought him home until he slept with us on his second night home. We woke up to a bunch of little rice looking grains in our bed. It was disgusting and just gave me the chills all over thinking that I had slept with them.
