If you want to have fun, sit and very slowly wave one hand at the little dragon........there's a good chance it will wave back at you.
Bearded dragons are omnivores that consume both insects, fruit and vegetables, with the occasional smaller lizard, and when they say "mice" they mean newborn pinkies too young to have hair.
An adult mouse is capable of severely injuring even a full grown bearded dragon (there are 5 species)of the larger types as they aren't particularly aggressive, except to other male bearded dragons....the term bearded, by the way, comes from an expandable throat covered in sharp spines and which turns black in courting males.
They can be quick enough that blade damage could be incurred from striking where the lizard WAS, or through it if hit.
I myself like to test blades on people who test them on lizards!**grin**
I admit to being predjudiced, as I've never had a lizard lie to me or try to do harm, unlike many "intelligent"animals.
