Cages

Cages are placeable decorative furniture items that display animated critters. A critter caught with the Bug Net or is combined with a Terrarium to craft a cage.

Gold cages are regular cages containing gold critters. They sell for each. Aside from the sell price, they are the same as regular cages.

Cages are background furniture, and nothing can be placed on them, nor can they be placed on top of each other. All cages measure either 6 tiles wide by 3 high, or 3 tiles wide by 2 high, and are partially transparent. Cages cannot be opened, broken, or crafted back into their ingredients, so once a critter is crafted into a cage, that particular critter can no longer be released.

These haven't been entered yet in the craft database, so they do not appear in the recipe section for the moment. Craft recipes should be obvious, though.

Tips

 * Gold critters inside Terrariums sell for the same price as without one, so it may be desirable to sell the animal without a Terrarium.
 * Some critters that have a sell price have no value when placed in a Terrarium.

Trivia

 * On the map, when hovered over with the mouse, the Red Squirrel Cage erroneously displays the text "Orange Squirrel Cage".
 * The Penguin's sprite in the Penguin Cage resembles the Baby Penguin, rather than the Penguin used to craft it. This may be due to resolution constraints, which would make it difficult to draw a proper penguin inside the cage's borders.
