Abstract
A modular animal habitat includes at least one vertical stack of similar compartment units formed of a transparent plastic, each unit including a rectangular bottom wall and front rear and end walls projecting upwardly from the bottom wall borders and terminating in coplanar flanges. Each unit rests on an underlying unit and has depending tongues engaging the inside faces of the underlying unit front and rear wall. The end walls of each unit have circular ports and an internally ribbed conduit network extends vertically along each end of the stack and is formed of tubular tees whose cross arms are coaxial and separably joined end to end and radial legs of alternate tees are coupled to the ports in successive units. Representations are applied to the unit walls by decacomania and the top unit is closed by a roof cover. Transversely offset habitat stacks may be coupled by the conduit network. Each tee is formed of mating halves separably interlocked by retainer rings.
