Keep in mind, they are not talking about soaking it... only spraying it with a fine mist of water. I imagine a fine misting would only soften soften the pellets up a bit, and cause them to expand.
Its for LIVESTOCK not rats...

You are basicly doing the peeing for them, and you will have all of the pelleted bedding broken down...

Oh, and i tried to raise some pups on pellets/pine, and I lost a few and the others had dried on dust around there nostrils... I don't even like to wet the pellets down for cattle, much less my rats.
