Adorable! Lovely pictures love the one with the rubber duck.
Is.. That a mouse your beardie is eating in the last picture?! Aren't the bones hard to digest for them or do they not have any problems? x

Bearded Dragons are inherently "designed" to digest insects and vegetation - not other mammals, that is why it has become very unrecommended to feed mice to bearded dragons.

I've heard of some instances where pregnant females are fed pinky mice to get a jump-start on their nutrients (soft bones, hairless, etc), but the one portrayed seems to be older.

I have heard the same as Jon on the whole mouse thing. I've heard of feeding pinkies but not older mice....BUT keep in mind I am in NO way an expert on bearded dragons so, take my opinions/statements/ etc. with a grain of salt so to speak. Is he wearing a ribbon around his neck while on that skateboard? Awesome.

I've seen tons of photos like that! It is awesome. Whenever it isn't winter, I'll tie a small balloon to Merlin to ensure he doesn't escape my sight whenever out and about!

It is a pinky mouse. The bones aren't fully formed.

He doesn't get very many, but I will make sure to watch more carefully. The mouse didn't even have its eyes open and couldn't walk yet. He loves them but has only ever had 4 in his life. He still poops well so I suppose I'm lucky
