==========================================

I've been thinking about this warning and the "thinks the beet pulp stuck, like 
peanut butter" statement --I have not known beet pulp to seem particularly 
sticky, I think it is less so than say soaked alfalfa pellets at they dry, but 
I have noticed that when adding rice bran to beet pulp, what does not get eaten 
up while good and wet will turn almost to wallpaper paste.

So perhaps a better q.  "is there a danger feeding ground, then soaked products 
because they get pasty as they dry?" and then "do some products make a 
particurlary sticky paste &/or dry out quicker and increase risks over others?"

Not an issue for me, I dont have hard keepers or put enough miles on anything 
that I have any need to keep beet pulp in front of them.  They get a wee bit of 
b/p for acclimation during the months when I'm traveling to endurance/LD rides 
since its such a handy v/c snack, but never more than they'll clean up in 
several minutes.
