Cages are placeable decorative furniture items that display animated critters. A critter caught with the Bug Net, Lavaproof Bug Net(Desktop, Console and Mobile versions), or Golden Bug Net(Desktop, Console and Mobile versions) is combined with a Terrarium to craft a cage. By throwing a cage into shimmer, it can be converted back into its ingredients, gaining back the caged critter as an item.

Gold cages are regular cages containing gold critters. Aside from their higher sell value and rarity, they are the same as regular cages.

Placed cages are partially transparent. They can be stacked on top of each other, but no other types of furniture can be placed on a cage. Players can stand on top of cages like platforms, even though they are otherwise background furniture.

Types

There are 63 different cages, 10 of which are gold variants.

Penguin CagePenguin Cage

The Penguin in a Penguin Cage may follow the following patterns randomly:

  • Move from one side to the other of the cage.
  • Briefly move its head up and down.
  • Blink in its place.
  • Look around to the left and right.

Scorpion CageScorpion Cage, Black Scorpion CageBlack Scorpion Cage

The Scorpion in a Scorpion or Black Scorpion Cage may follow the following patterns randomly:

  • Run from one side to the other of the cage
  • Submerge in sand
  • Stab with its stinger for a few times
  • Wave its stinger
  • Snip with its chelae

Snail CageSnail Cage, Glowing Snail CageGlowing Snail Cage, Magma Snail CageMagma Snail Cage

The Snail in a Snail, Glowing Snail, or Magma Snail Cage may follow the following patterns randomly:

  • Hide inside its shell
  • Try to climb up to the ceiling of the cage, but fail and fall down again
  • Make a whole loop around its cage successfully

Notes

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

  • Gold cages have a unique sprite with golden lids and bottoms. So do cages for gem critters, with silver lids and bottoms.
  • 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 Penguin pet, 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.
  • The Truffle Worm Cage's tooltip alludes to the fact that the Truffle Worm can burrow away from the player.
