My main complaint with the use of pellets was the amount of dust. so far (5 days in) there is none of the normal dust. it changed the feel of it completley... it basicly made the pellets stick together some.... hard to explain.

Keep in mind, i sprayed a tiny bit of water on them.
I'm not buying it. Like I've said, I've had a number of floods that completely expanded ALL of the pellets, and the rats are just running around in sawdust for a week.

I guess Mike that's where I'm confused. It's saw dust, whether you wet it down or the rats do with their pee. I'm not entirely sure why your giving it this magical property of low dust.

Yes, it makes sense if the saw dust is wet it may help to stick together, but what's the difference between you wetting it down right when you change it and it drying, to the rats peeing on it a bit by bit all week long?

Not sure if this helps... but this is what I see and I can't imagine it's somehow less dusty.
