large adult dragons can eat fuzzy mice...though I wouldn't feed anything as large as a hopper mouse to a dragon. Pinkies are fine as a treat or very small fuzzies. Even then I don't recommend more than one a month, if even that much. Also, best to feed frozen thawed.

Seeing this makes me wish I took a photo when I fed one of mine a big cicada last year. I tossed it in the tank and the dragon jumped on it in a flash of the eye. Caught it right out of the air when it was trying to fly. I love to see when a dragon strikes in a fury!

OMG that one with the locust gonna die huh? LMAO

There is a reason they have those giant mouths and sharp teeth. Large prey items are fine, as long as you have husbandry that supports their ability to consume those animals.

It can be dangerous feeding big live mice to beardies because they can bite back and for now on I'll be more cautious. But he killed that mouse quick it was video worhty
