(Freakie_frog, do you have any issues with cleaning the tubs with the extra stuff in the bottom?) I use the simple mortar tubs from Menards. They have no ridges. I have still had a chew out. The mom chewed, and the baby got out.... since she has gone, there have been no more problems.
you are correct, it is about their shape.

the lowe's MacCourt units are thinner and large than the Hoem depot units. I prefer the Home depot units because they will not dent over time.
