tegu plants

[kethry]

i was wondering if i could plant some veggies in my tegu's cage,or is it a big "no"

you could but ive heard that tegus enjoy destroying most plants, they will probably uproot them in a month, if that.

what about soil?Could plant soil harm a tegu?I'll havr to look up the soil im using(cant remember)
do you think it would grow in his cage or would i have to use a pot?

I am going to agree, I am sure that your tegu would pobably uproot and poop all over your plants (good fertilizer though...lol). I would suggest using a pot in the soil.. however, most plant soils have additives that could potentially harm your tegu, so you would have to get organic. And if your using plants from a garden centre or someting like that, you could bring unwanted bugs into your tegu enclosure and house! lol
