Yes - any non-aquatic animals' bedding should be dry, unless pet care guides indicate that it should be damp. For a rat's bedding to be wet it indicates that the rat(s) have urinated in the bedding, in which case it needs to be changed and the cage cleaned.

How is sanitation directly related to herd health?

Sanitation is the key to animal health because if animals are producing "bad bacteria" such as urine and feces in wet bedding or in unclean facilities, then the bad bacteria have a much faster and higher growth rate. They will multiply at a much higher exponential rate than in clean, dry bedding. -If that bacteria is not properly removed of, then it has a much easier way of finding its way into the animals' mouths, infecting their entire bodily system.
