Construction - Menagerie

Introduction | Key Features | The Hotspots | The Items

Introduction

When you get to level 37 Construction, you'll be able to build a menagerie - a place to house your collection of pets.

Key Features

A typical menagerie

A menagerie is kind of like a mini personal themed zoo. Any pets that you have managed to obtain through the Summoning skill (as long as it's the fully grown version of that animal) can be housed in the menagerie. Cats can be stored here too, as can Eek the Spider and the pet rock. You can customise the look of the menagerie by changing its habitat.

As well as being a colourful and interesting addition to any outdoor space - all stored pets will happily wander around your home - it is also functional. Together, the pet house and pet feeder will allow you to store a number of different pets in your home and keep them well fed. The pet feeder is designed to provide as much food as your pets need, so you needn't 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.

There's also the option of installing a handy Summoning obelisk in the menagerie, at which you can renew your Summoning points.

Finally, one of the best things about your menagerie is that any pets housed within it do not count towards your pet limits, so you will be able to get more than one of the same type of pet. Imagine: a volcanic habitat with a desecrated pet house, home to four baby dragons (one of each colour)! It's the dream of many pet owners and an impressive menagerie to boot.
