Menagerie

The menagerie in a player-owned house is a room where pets can be stored, and various features to play with pets.

This room can be built either as an indoor or outdoor variant. Both versions require 37 Construction and cost 30,000 to build. Only one menagerie can be owned at a time, but it can be freely changed between the indoor or outdoor menageries. To do this, attempt to build the opposite menagerie as a new room on a door hotspot. The contents of the current menagerie will be moved while swapping the indoor or outdoor style.

Note: Attempting to switch between indoor and outdoor via the house viewer will only move the room, it will not change whether it is indoor or outdoor. It only changes when using a door hotspot.

There are 6 hotspots available:

Arena space
Habitat space
Pet feeder space
Pet house space
Pet list space
Scratching post space

Arena

The arena serves as a way to have your pets "let off steam" by fighting each other. To use, simply use the desired pets on the arena. When two pets are placed inside, they will attack each other. This is simply for spectating as the pets placed inside can never kill each other. Most pets typically have special dialogue when fighting another pet, although a few use a generic set of dialogue.

Habitat

This space is only available in the outdoor version of the menagerie. These also require a hammer, saw, and watering can.

Note: The level boost from a cup of tea will work, but the crystal saw's boost will not work.
