Menagerie

The Menagerie in a player-owned house is a room where players can let their pets live in. You may only build one, but you have the ability to move it. (Move option is triggered by trying to build a second Menagerie.)

All types of pets (except rocks,clockwork cats and fish) can be kept in Menageries and can roam around players' houses. You can put them in the shelter and they will run around the house, however the pet must be fully grown. Players can change the basic look of the Menagerie by changing the habitat. Players can also recharge their Summoning points if they've built an obelisk in one of the available hotspots.

Building a Menagerie requires level 37 Construction and 30,000 coins.

There are 4 types of hotspots available:
 * Mini Obelisk - Gives players an option to recharge their summoning points.
 * Pet house - Holds any full grown pets the player has.
 * Pet feeder - Feeds any hungry pets that a player has in his inventory.
 * Habitat - The basic look and scenery of the Menagerie.

Pet house
Built in upgrades. Full grown pets can live here. Baby pets can't live in the house. If you leave your pets here, they will walk around your house, however, you cannot talk to them for some reason but the Ex-Ex-Parrot has the option to talk, pick him/her up and examine.

*With the equivalent pet feeder

Pet feeder
The pet feeder is designed to provide as much food as your pets need, so you don't need to worry that any pets in your menagerie will go wandering off, and you can use it to feed any hungry pets you are carrying with you, all at the same time.

It is built in upgrades.

Trivia
On the day of release of the Menagerie, the Construction skill suffered various glitches.
 * When the update first came out, when players tried enter their house through the portal or switch modes they would get the message "Invalid Teleport!" rapidly and may either be disconnected out of the game, or the waiting command gets cancelled. (Like going into building mode or going to your house)
 * Occasionally whilst in building mode, another glitch prevented players from editing their houses and were prompted with the message "You can only do this in your own house.", despite the fact that building mode can only be turned on in your own house.
 * While trying to build or upgrade the Menagerie hotspots, the upgraded version may not display in-game without the player leaving the house and returning.
 * While trying to upgrade the Menagerie hotspots, players may be randomly teleported to another player's house that is in the same location.
 * When looking at the House Option, when a player clicked on 'In House' they have been teleported to their house without the use of runes.
 * The milestone tab disappeared on the construction tablet with the update.
 * When turning building mode off inside the house, you will still see the shadows where you can build furniture.
 * You can turn building mode on and off, even when you are not in a house. Even on a F2P world!


 * Some pets seem to show up on the Minimap as an NPC, while most other pets don't show up on the minimap, but still count as NPCs
 * Previous to the release of the new room, players all across the forums were calling for construction updates, including the ones released on August 18th, 2009. It is unknown whether Jagex released said updates because of popular demand or if they were already prepared
 * The examine text of a penguin in a desert habitat is "Animal Cruelty!"
 * The Menagerie can only be built on the ground level.


 * With the Menagerie update came a hidden update that allows players to move one-of-a-kind rooms such as the Menagerie and Costume Room.
 * The use of air and water runes to make the polar/ice habitat suggests that ice magic is used, in one way or another.
 * When you asked your butler to take logs to the sawmill after having him un-noting them, it would not charge you for the planking even though it noted that it would.
 * The menagerie has been player suggested!
