Zoological Illustrations of a Porcelain Clown with and without the removable face plate as well as the feeding parts of a Teacup Clown as illustrated by an unknown zoologist and early clownologist.

The Porcelain clown removes its face plate exclusively when feeding on snail shells. It has been observed that its musculature is covered by a delicate, translucent, skin-like membrane that secretes a porcelain or matte bisque-like calcium carbonate shell on its body and face, which is shed annually. Additionally, their teeth have been compared to those of the Black Drum Fish, as they are well-suited for crushing mollusk shells, enabling the organism to recycle the calcium carbonate for the development of its own armored body. The Teacup clown's rigid shell exterior is immobile and cannot be removed for feeding. Consequently, the clown has developed an adaptive feeding mechanism involving a proboscis, similar to the mouthparts of a mosquito. This structure includes a hypopharynx that delivers a digestive enzyme to the selected food, whether it is an insect or a scavenged sweet treat. The clown then uses the labrum to suction the liquefied nutrients for ingestion.

Because of the new @strange-aeons video, I've seen a lot of newbies to the clown husbandry scene, and while I'm personally thrilled about the light shed on our small but very important community, I've got a few important reminders to all interested/new clown keepers!

Clowns are living creatures!

To the seasoned keeper, this may seem an incredibly simple minded first point- but I've seen time and time again, a clown being adopted because they're cute, and promptly being abandoned due to the new keeper not having realized they were getting into.

Clowns are living, breathing creatures that can become trusted and wonderful companions- if you are capable of giving them the care that they require and frankly deserve. A mistreated clown will not take kindly to their handler. That being said..

Clown breeds require different care!!

From loud, fun loving entertainers like the party clown to the quiet, reserved hijinks of the mime, clown breeds vary as much as any other pet you may have had. Before adopting a clown, ensure that you have what you need to take care of them! This involves room for troupemates if they're a social species, animals for a rodeo clown, ect ect ect. This also involves appropriate habitation. Don't keep your jester in a haunted house!!

Chucklets are NOT for beginners!!

This is probably the MOST important point of this post- If you're a beginner clown owner, do NOT adopt a chucklet!! I know the appeal might be hard to resist, but chucklets are oftentimes naturally quite violent! I know a guy who lost a finger to a birthday cross chucklet, one of the most gentle breeds out there. Chucklets are volatile until their adult markings grow in, and remain volatile if not properly trained and cared for. Clowns will remember the faces of humans they don't like, even if they don't remember why they don't like that human. Remember, Clowns can be rather simple. You put yourself AND the chucklet in danger if you aren't properly equipped to care for them!

Thank you for reading! If there are any questions, my dms and asks are always open ☆♡

Clownblr, I need your help!!!

I was watching Dropout.tv’s Make Some Noise earlier and I was delighted to see some clowns make an apoearance!

I’m fairly new to clown husbandry so I was wondering if i could get some help identifing the breeds.

Theres a few that I have a pretty good idea about

Like, this is a rodeo clown if I’ve ever seen one:

And I think this might be some kind of circus/party mix?

And this one I’m pretty sure has been crossed with an impersonator or comedian, as they seem to be impersonating Dropout CEO Sam Reich

But there are others who I don’t really have a clue about

If I could get some help identifying these breeds I would greatly appreciate it!

Are Drag Queens considered a clown breed?

[throwaway251103]

Hello! I have seen quite a few blogs dedicated to spreading awareness in regards to clown husbandry, and I have seen a lot of misinformation floating around! Now, I can't believe this needs to be said, but, watercolors are NOT EVER suited for clown feeding, whatever the species! They will not be able to digest nor process it, and will be unable to maintain their lively colors! One can of acrylic paint per week is most recommended, although gouache is fine too, as long as it is of good quality and vibrancy. Also, never feed your clown several different cans of paint at a time! The colors will often mix into absolute mud. Don't be surprised your clown becomes depressed because of this! I recommend alternating between colors each week. My jester varient has a red and yellow pattern, so I alternate between red and yellow acrylic paint each week, in order to make sure that my little guy is happy, vibrant and healthy! Of course, your clown's diet will depend on the subspecies, and will vary heavily. However, watercolors are an absolute no go, and will result in an unvibrant, faded plumage.

CLOWN HUSBANDRY TUMBLR !!! what breed of clown do i look like 🤡🤡🤡

My Clowns!

Crafty - Pierrot/Scary

Crafty is my oldest clown, though I don't know exactly how old she is, as she's a foster. She was one of our "special cases" at the shelter I work at. Her previous owner had no idea how to take care of her, and was treating her as though she was purebred pierrot. I've had her for four years, and she's been a delight! Her diet is pretty basic, but with more fruit than I would generally give a clown, due to the enrichment capabilities. Crafty's favorite activities are painting faces, hiding in various small spaces, and playing hide-and-seek!

Pix - Harlequin

Pix is a fairly young clown, though again as a rehab I don't know exactly. She was brought to us due to her previous owner being unable to keep up with the huge amount of care harlequins take. I've had her for about three years, but I was actually her specialized caretaker at the shelter for about six months before that! She has a unique diet, even for a harlequin, because of some health issues. She mainly hunts and eats live prey (in a controlled environment, with prey I purchase for her, of course!), but her sugar intake mostly comes from her water, as she has an aversion to most candy. She loves to perform comedic plays and also occasionally pretends to be a jester, joking around with us. Of course, she also loves to hunt.

Joy - Teacup Party

Joy is a very young clown, probably only about two years old. I have been taking care of her for the past 8 months, but she still doesn't care too much for me. I feed her a normal candy-based diet. Her favorite activity is balloon animals! If anyone reading this is experienced with Parties, I'd love some advice on getting her more social with my other clowns.

Just learned about the Clown Husbandry on tumblr, my mother was a clown called “Chatterbox” does that mean I’m a party clown biologically?

[belle-of-a-time]

I’ve been looking into clown husbandry and went to my local shelter to get a good feel for the different breeds and to see if I can properly care for them so I know what to get. While I was there I fell in love with a little mixed breed. Mime and Jester maybe? I think? It had a black and white coloring with the face paint and everything and it had a ruff and one of those big silly hats. When I walked past we stared at each other for a while and then it pulled out an invisible scroll and “announced me” to the rest of the hall and then started mimicking my movements in an exaggerated and mocking way and the staff said that usually it just flipped people off and mimed doing other things facing the back of its room so I think it might like me too. I haven’t brought it home yet because I’m not sure how best to set up a space for it. I pretty much only know clown basics, so if anyone has any advice/tips so I can be fully prepared to bring my clown home and care for it properly I would really appreciate it.

How many breeds of clowns are there?

I'm interested in adopting but not sure which one would feel at home with me, so I'm going to study clown breeds but my computer is being very picky about where I get information so I'm asking the community about how many breeds there are and how they differ.

All about:

The Clowny

The clowny is a fascinating breed of clown of currently unknown origins but may have been the result of crossbreeding or strange mutations that have evolved in spaces where humans are not populous. They are mostly found in Utah, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, and some parts of California, although there have been reported sightings of the clowny in New Mexico, Arizona, and Nevada, these have not been confirmed at this time.

The clowny usually appears as a horse or pony with a curled rainbow or otherwise vibrantly coloured mane, colourful clothing, and a red bulbous growth on the bridge of the nose just above the nostrils (but some lack this trait). The red bulb is not a second nose but a brightly coloured sphere of cartilage of unknown purpose. Instead of the average horse noises, they make a variety of honking noises. The most common horse breed variants are the Appaloosa and the American Paint Horse, but the clowny can be a cross of any horse breed and any clown breed. It is important to note, however, that the purposeful breeding of clowns and horses to produce a clowny (or for any other reason) is highly illegal.

Their diets consist of grass, hay, grains, certain fruits and vegetables such as carrots and apples, cotton candy, funnel cake, snowcones, and one of the most important staples of their diet, circus peanuts. Clownies absolutely CAN NOT be pellet fed. Pellets do not have adequate nutritional value to give the clowny its much needed energy and strength.

Clownies are recommended to clown owners who have the experience and land necessary to care for regular horses and ponies since they act very similarily. They need a large area to roam and be ridden frequently. They pair extremely well with rodeo clowns and are excellent choices for livestock companions. If you are not a fan of horse riding, your rodeo clown will almost certainly be up for the job.

Some rare variations of clownies have been observed by field coulrologists, such as the zebra/clown crossbreed (the clownbra), or the donky/clown crossbreed (the clownkey), but have not been made available for legal acquisition at this time due to their unpredictable nature and unknown population status.

Do you know about the clowny? Talk about what you've observed!

Can clowns become more human?

Hi! My name is Fizz however I tell people my name is Fritz, I have no memory of my parents and I am quite short. I have blue hair (naturally) and strange colourful marking that seemingly appeared over night. I also have an issue with speaking human languages like english.

I've been wondering if it's possible that I could have been some form of clown that was trained to be more human? (Photo of me for reference)

My "makeup" doesn't come off so I simply alter it so it looks like I'm just a normal clown enthusiast but I'm not sure. I have a very similar diet to most clown breeds. Please help.

The main reason for me asking this now is that I've been thinking about adopting a clown but I need to know if that would be unethical!
