Great question! I will start throwing in individual pellets next week. Yes, sinking for sure.

I will soften the pellets initially, and I will throw in a single pellet at a time until the first pellet hits the bottom uneaten--even if it's the first pellet. I think in a system like this you just can't afford to have pellets sitting on the bottom. I'll also use the Cargill product to test for palatability.
