Actually these are supposed to break apart when getting wet instead of expanding. Did a test with water and they pretty much disintegrated. Keep in mind these aren't the same alfalfa pellets you feed to animals, they are made differently I believe.

Also for adult dragons they are considered safe but for babies it can be dangerous. BUT the pellets are so large they are not easily eaten by the little guys. By the time they are big enough to eat them they are of no danger.

correct. they do expand, but they also turn to mush, as you found out.
