I bought some pine pellet bedding, its actually magnum horse bedding but it is made by the same folks as woody pet/equine fresh.. i guess they like to corner the market with 3 brand names. anyhow its a hard little pellet and the instructions say to wet it to start breaking down.

My question is should I wet it for rats and how deep of a layer of these pellets is enough? I put some in one tub in my rack and lightly misted it but it didn't break down at all (yet).

any helpful hints would be appreciated.
