hello!

I’ve been researching clown breeds optimum for my home for awhile, and stumbled across a diet question.

I heard that older clowns require soft or softer food due to declining number and density of teeth, but certain clown breeds also require hard or crunchy food for a complete diet (eg. popcorn, corn dogs, hard candies, etc.)

Is the before mentioned information true and if so what do you recommend for older clowns accustomed to or requiring harder food? just put in a blender or a completely new diet?

Hi! Some clown breeds do need softer foods as they get older and some don't. Teacup clowns are the main ones you have to worry about, as they already have more delicate teeth. If you notice they're having trouble chewing harder foods, you can supplement with many different alternatives. I recommend cotton candy, gummy bears, (skittles are also okay most od the time), puffed popcorn (the kind you get in the chip/crisp bags at the grocery store), and pre-cooked frozen hot dog bites (they don't have sticks, which reduces crunch risk, and when you heat them up in the microwave they remain soft).

However, some clown breeds have tougher teeth into older age. Scare clowns are an example of ones you don't need to worry about as much. Some scare clowns' teeth grow non-stop (like hamsters) so they need to chew on things to grind their teeth down so they don't get too long. Other scare clowns are like sharks, their teeth constantly fall out and grow back. But even as they age their teeth get more sensitive, so I just cut out the really hard foods like jolly ranchers, lollipops, and hard nuts like almonds. I also make sure to only give them pre-softened bones to chew on.

As long as you're paying attention to their eating habits and taking them for regular checkups, you shouldn't have to change up their diet too often. If you're really concerned, you can ask your vet to do a more thorough exam of your clowns' teeth and follow their recommendations.

Thank you and good luck!

As we approach Halloween this year, please remember to keep your Scare breeds properly contained in your home, especially at night. There are too many sick people who will hunt down and kill Scare clowns if they see them.

And on October 31st, it's best to put all your clowns in their enclosures so they don't wander and get confused by the costumes. I nearly lost my Circus Clown last year because it mistook a human in a clown costume to be another clown in heat. He got excited and jumped our fence and almost ran in front of a car, but I was able to catch him in time.

Please don't make the same mistake I did! Keep your clowns safe this October!

any advice for people looking for resources before adopting their first clown? anything you think they should know?

Hello! Welcome to the clown husbandry community, friend! It can be difficult to find reliable resources, as there's a lot of opinions on the best ways to care for clowns. Just like any other animal, it's important to do a lot of research about things like diet, enclosure and enrichment for yourself-- making up your own mind about those things based on what you think is best. Tumblr is a great place to start, though! There's a lot of blogs (mine included, I would like to think) that offer a lot of help to current and prospective clown keepers.

That being said! My personal advice for new clown owners... I think I'll limit myself, lest this post be way too long (as I'm verbose and don't know when to shut up) to three points.

1-- Start with an easy breed! There's a lot of clown breeds with very specific and very intensive care requirements- such as, for example, a jester of any variety (speaking from experience haha). However, clown keeping doesn't have to be that difficult! For a beginner clown owner, I recommend a party clown or a mix that includes party. They have simpler enrichment needs (a pie, a horn and balloons should be more than enough), and don't require things like a haunted house, or a three-ring circus tent to make them happy! Most party clowns, especially birthday variety, are vibrantly colorful, funny, and live to make a frown a smile, making them the perfect choice for a first time owner.

2-- Clowns of all breeds need healthy, balanced diets! It may not look balanced to you and me, due to the amount of candy and sweets, but keep in mind that clowns are very different than humans! The more important thing I can think of off the top of my head is that specifically Candy Faery brand Candy floss is not real cotton candy! I've never had a clown have a good reaction to Candy Faery floss, despite its popularity, so stray away from it is my recommendation.

3-- My single most important piece of advice for new clown owners is to not get only one clown. Clowns of most varieties are very social (unless you're getting a scare clown, which you shouldn't be doing as a first time owner anyway imo), and in order for them to remain happy, their plumage to remain bright, and their acts to not grow stale, you should have at least two clowns, though three is better. Personally, I would consider keeping one clown alone to be extremely vile unless you can dedicate ALL of your time to them.

That's all! I hope you get some use out of this nonny! ☆♡

It's so funny when you keep both Fools and Mimes because one will be playing a little song while the other is actively building an invisible brick wall around them to block the sound.

Never a dull day, I'll tell you that.

Does anyone have any advice on how to clown-proof a pantry?

I usually keep outdoor clowns so I haven't had to think about it before. But I'm planning on fostering some indoor breeds soon, and I'm hoping to keep them out because I have foods that are toxic to most clowns (such as uncooked pasta and canned tomatoes). I've heard that some clowns can be crafty with locks, and I know that mimes can just break down a door with an invisible axe or hammer.

How do you combat this? I know most people just train their clowns, but because I'll be fostering rescues I can't predict if they're trained at all or how they may behave.

Any advice would be helpful, thanks!

A 2023 Guide to Scientifically Advanced Clown Husbandry Techniques

I’ve started asking robots their opinions on clown husbandry so please enjoy and be sure to reblog with any corrections you have! [Photo also made by robots]

Clown husbandry can be an enjoyable and rewarding activity, but it does require careful management and advanced techniques if you wish to get the most out of your clowns. Here in this guide, we'll discuss some of the scientifically advanced techniques that will help ensure your clowns stay healthy and thrive.

Consider the Clown’s Dietary Needs

Have you ever wondered what keeps clowns so cheerful and energetic? The answer lies in their diet. These jolly performers have a sweet tooth - but not just for any ordinary candy. Oh no, they crave something much more delicious and messy: pies! Whether it's apple, cherry, or even the classic cream flavor, clowns can't resist a good pie to chow down on. And who can blame them? With each bite, they're transported to a world of sugary bliss and childlike wonder. So next time you see a clown with a suspiciously full belly, just know that they indulged in their favorite treat - and it's all part of the job.

Setting up a Safe Clown Habitat

Do you know what's scarier than clowns? Clowns without a safe habitat! It's time to set up a sanctuary for these playful performers. But we can't just put them in any old space - we need a special place that's clown-proof. And what's a clown-proof space? A big top, of course! Not only will it protect them from the elements, but it will also provide them with plenty of space to practice their juggling, balloon animals, and other tricks of the trade. So let's get to work, folks, and make sure our clown friends have a safe and happy home.

Training Your Clowns to Perform Amazing Tricks

When it comes to training your clowns, it's not all fun and games (well, okay, it is mostly fun and games). But trust me, it's worth the effort when you see them perform jaw-dropping tricks that will make your audience laugh, gasp, and maybe even wet their pants a little. And let's face it, a good clown act can make or break a party. So grab your big red nose and get to work, my friend. It's time to unleash your inner circus ringleader and show those clowns who's boss!

Improving Clown Hygiene

At the end of the day, clown hygiene is no laughing matter. From cleaning the wigs to keeping costumes bright, you'll need to take a few extra steps to ensure that your clowns stay clean and presentable for their beloved audience. After all, nobody wants to hug a smelly clown! Unless they're a tramp clown. They sometimes like to be a bit odiferous. So stock up on plenty of soap, water, and a good supply of clown wipes to keep your clowns clean and healthy. You'll thank yourself later!

Avoiding Dangerous Pranks and Practical Jokes

We all love a good laugh, but let's admit it - sometimes, we take it too far. Nobody wants to be the culprit of a prank gone wrong, especially when it puts someone in danger. We're all for being the life of the party, but let's not make it a matter of life and death. Stick with the classics, like whoopee cushions and fake vomit, and avoid anything involving explosives or sharp objects. So let's keep it safe, folks, and remember - friendship is magic, but a hospital bill is not.

The world of clowns is full of laughter, joviality, and entertainment. If you want to join in the fun, be sure to keep your clown’s dietary needs in mind; pies and sweets are always greatly appreciated by our big-nosed friends! Furthermore, you’ll need a large tent or big top to house your clowns – trust us, they don’t fit inside small bungalows! Gather the best props and tricks for clown performances beforehand; it may take some practice and patience from both the clowns and their trainers but it’s worth it for a show that will produce life-long memories. Hygiene should also be kept in check: ensure your clowns are clean and bright to make them sparkle just as much as their sequined outfits. While practical jokes might seem like a good idea at first, always remember that no one likes an unhappy clown – so choose only harmless fun when pulling pranks!

While miniature clowns (1/2 the size or less of a small Teacup) can be quite adorable, please keep in mind that breeding them is highly unethical.

Oftentimes, breeders achieve such a tiny size by inbreeding Teacup and Toy breeds, even breeding them before they're fully mature.

Many may not know this, but clowns are actually capable of breeding before their adult markings even start to show. You can imagine how awful and dangerous this is for the clowns involved. I cannot tell you how many miniature chucklings have come into the shelter at only a few days old because their mothers had complications and died. It is extremely difficult to care for mini chucklings, too, because they're often underdeveloped as a result of health issues during gestation. I have seen far too many lose their color and pass away also.

If they make it past chuckling stage, these miniatures end up with many health issues as they mature. From underdeveloped feet, to missing markings, to dull teeth. They also have much shorter lifespans. Normal breed clowns generally live to be 55-60 years old, whereas Minis may only live to be 25-30. Clowns were just not meant to breed this way.

It is important that you do not support ANY breeders who breed and sell Miniatures.

If you see a Mini rescue, then by all means take it in. All clowns are deserving of love and care no matter what. (Keep in mind it may need special care, make sure you're prepared for that) But please do not seek out or romanticize the idea of owning a Miniature breed clown. It is not cute, it is not something you can just pick up from a breeder and go about your merry way.

Clowns are real, feeling creatures. It is simply cruel to treat them like toys or throwaway objects.

And please, if you see these Mini breeders, please report them. Clown inter-breeding is actually illegal in most countries.

When Inside Out released, my family went to go see it in theaters. Of course, they always play a Pixar short beforehand. This short was titled Lava, where a volcano falls in love. At the end of the short, they tell each other "I lava you". My mom and I still say that to each other all the time. I'm not even sure if she remembers where it's from.

Tell me about a joke that you and your family absolutely lose your shit over that other people would not get.

Tell me about the very unique way you pick on each other.

Or tell me about a pop culture reference your family will never let die and you’ve never heard any other family use it.

*chin on hands* I just love hearing these stories. (I’m obsessed with little loser microcultures like families and very niche fandoms) So lay it on me.

I wonder what Hank Green would think about clown husbandry

[ghiradellidarkchocolatebrownies]

friendly reminder that while some breeds of clown love pop rocks, more sensitive species like teacup clowns can be hurt by them!!

[ghiradellidarkchocolatebrownies]

”oh ho ho I’m getting a Teacup clown because I’m not gonna blow a bunch of money on a stupid clown tent this one can just squat in my pantry!” Shut the fuck up.

Don’t get a clown if you can’t afford to care for them, I genuinely cannot stand people like this. Teacup clowns do require less space than regular run of the mill Party’s but that doesn’t mean you don’t need to care for them. Do your research, you irresponsible dumbass

Public service announcement!

If you see a service/emotional support clown in public, DO NOT INTERACT!! I’m tired of hearing story after story from my friends about how someone was distracting their service clown. If they have a vest on they’re working, end of story! Don’t try to get them to honk, show you a magic trick, and especially don’t try to feed them. Just pretend like they’re not there. Thank you
