Yes, I belive I do have aother gobbo cage.

I'm trying to build gobbo cages in my arena, but only one shows up on the build menu.

Is the other one in an animal stockpile?  If it's in the process of being moved, it won't show up as available.

it might not show up as a "goblin cage" but just as a cage on the menu.  I generally forbid all other close by cages and then build the a cage; it'll be the one with the goblin in it.

if this doesn't work, make sure the cage isn't marked for dumping/melting/forbidden.

Might be pointing out the obvious here, but you can expand items with the 'x' key when building the cage, to show individual cages, I believe.

In the general view, it usually only shows cages by material. To see by content, you have to expand the menu
