Art trade with @handmadechaos! I so enjoyed working with you and hope to do so in the future. These clowns bring me indescribable joy.

So hey, #clownhusbandry folks, I might need some tips on caring for what I suspect are teacup chucklets. I heard rustling sounds and small, frustrated honks coming from my kitchen this morning. After some investigation I found a small chucklet digging through a box of cookies. It scampered when it saw me but I followed it to this small nest in the corner of my living room.

These guys must have been guarding the nest for some time, judging by the faint circus music that the eggs were emitting on and off. That at least explains the craving I had for popcorn all weekend. After giving them some food and setting up a small nursery tent for them, they let me take some pictures.

I'm going to have to adopt out most of these babies once they're old enough, but in the meantime can anyone give me some care tips? These three seem to have imprinted on me, they follow me everywhere, so I'm planning on keeping them.

[honkhonk-clowns]

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 ☆♡

Caramel (Jojo)

Pet Peeves: Rainy days, lack of colors (Koko)

Cloudless days, flashy colors (Jojo)

Appearance:

Jojo and Koko are twins with ginger hair.(the orange is stronger than previously thought) They tend to dye the tips of their hair in corresponding pink or blue but are known to change to random colors often.

Koko has blue eyes and usually wears bright colors like yellow and pink. She keeps her hair short to keep it out of the way during Gymnastics. She enjoys festive designs with polkadots. Koko ties ribbons to her wrists to use for later.

Jojo has pink eyes and usually wears muted black and white clothes. He has long hair he keeps tied up with a colorful ribbon given to him by Koko. He prefers clothes that are elegant. He loves ruffled sleeves.

Personality:

Koko is energetic and bubbly. She loves to play pranks and showing off any trick she learns. This leads to causing a lot of trouble. Koko enjoys doing slapstick with her brother where she pranks him.

Jojo is more reserved, he tries to entertain people but getting pied in the face or popping his balloon animals just makes people laugh. He actually likes this.

Backstory:

The twins are the only children of their family after Ace swore off risking having multiples again.

The twins grew up traveling with their parents. Ace was a celebrity magician and toured around the world for shows and Yuu is still a certified jester who performs in select venues for parties.

The twins naturally took after them. Koko wants to be an acrobat and Jojo wants to be a Pierrot.

If people were to describe them you'd compare them to those happy and sad theater masks.

Koko being the expressive and joyful one with her love for sunshine and rainbow. Jojo being morose and gloomy with his love for all things deary and foggy.

Koko takes after her father more and often tries to sneak into his stage shows. She will sometimes appear under a disappearing trick in place of the missing prop. Jojo is often at Yuu's shows playing the role of the little sad clown where Yuu comedically tries to cheer up their son.

Koko however is firm that her brother isn't actually depressed. He just likes things this way. Koko is extremely supportive of her brother and goes to all his comedy shows. Even when he fails to get a laugh she still cheers the loudest.

The twin enjoy riding goats and having headbutt competitions with them. They loved goats and you will often have one of the baby goats following them around and chewing on their clothes.

Ace and Yuu are both fun parents who raise their children to be free-spirited. Discipline isn't their strong suit. They have a prank war that's been going on for years. Ace thought the pregnancy was also a prank for a solid week. He treasured that first dad joke.

The twins are very clingy. When Ace and Yuu wake up they have two little monsters on top of them.

Yuu calls them their little "Chucklets" and Ace calls them "Two of Kind" like two of a kind.

The twins are likely going NRC but there is a chance they might end up at different schools. They end up befriending Rollo's son (I know I'm surprised too) Quin and they torment him relentlessly. The twins love to tease and prank Quin. Quin isn't the best at knowing if people are joking or being mean but he doesn't have to worry, the twins are protective of their favorite toy.

Hey clownblr, I need your help. There is a very small clown, I think a chucklet, that I see at night sometimes. I have been able to get pretty close to it by leaving a dish of candy floss out at night. It has bright colors, a spiked collar, and a pointed hat with a pompom on the top. The facial markings are not very large or bold. It looks to be around the size of a soda can. I don't see many clowns nearby, and none that look like they are the same breed as it. Any idea what breed it could be? Should I try and take this clown in?

[thesillysanctuary]

I found this chucklet yesterday, (as can be seen at @foundaclown), I took them to the vet today, and all is well, but the vet wasn’t familiar enough with clown mixes to identify what they are. Do you think you could give me your best guess?

Here’s a photo for reference, and they’re about the size of a full grown cat

The outfit and ruffles makes me wanna assume Pierrot, but the hat is telling me jester. Depending on the age it’s either a very young Jester Pierrot mix or also has a bit of Porcelain or Toy mixed in. I suggest trying to get a dna test, purely so you can better understand how to take care of them :•>.

What’s the average lifespan of a clown? How quickly do they mature?

Also I still haven’t gotten my new clown girl yet >:(( I’ve been waiting patiently lol

Hello! Thank you for the question, clowns lifespans vary drastically from breed to breed and their rate of maturity is still under some debate from professionals, but regarding teacup-circus breeds I can offer my knowledge.

Teacups are often assumed to be short term commitments, much like how people see hamsters compared to dogs, but this is false. Teacups don’t typically live quite as long as larger breeds of clown, (scare-clowns, jesters, ect, are known to commonly age into their late 110’s) but they can easily live as long as a human, their average life-span is around 75-85. It’s not certain exactly why this is, there are a multitude of reasons, but even though teacups don’t typically live quite as long as larger breeds, they are still lifelong commitments and most importantly lifelong friends.

As for how teacups mature, it can depend a lot on what their crossed with, so general statements are not hard and fast rules, rather a rough estimate for the majority of teacups. They are typically considered chucklets (clownlets, chuckles, baby clowns, all common names) for the first 1-2 years of their life. This stage is where the most rapid development takes place.

After that they enter the juvenile stage and continue slowly mature until they reach adulthood. Some teacups grow slightly in size during the juvenile stage, some stay the size they reached during their chucklet-hood. That’s one difference between teacups and other breeds, their juvenile stage doesn’t contain major physical development, teacups spend their juvenile stage developing their brains and immune systems. Porcelain teacups develop a hardened shell when they’re chucklets and slowly build up more and more layers over the course of their juvenile stage. This is why younger porcelains heal better than older porcelains.

Once they’ve been through their juvenile stage they reach adulthood and are full-fledged clowns. Like humans, their development doesn’t necessarily come to a complete halt, but all their major changes have been completed and they’ve developed a core personality. Just like us, they will still learn and grow through the course of their whole lives, simply less in the sense of physical growth and more in the sense of personal growth.

During their later years, 50-70, they begin to slow down and become elder clowns. Sometimes they develop respiratory problems and joint issues, which can be managed easily with the help of a vet. Towards the very end of their lives, many experience certain pains because of age-related conditions and require medication. Some people tend to be scared of medicating their teacups because teacups are so small and seem as though their systems might be overwhelmed by medication, but keeping an elderly clown from pain management is needlessly cruel and with the help of a vet teacups will be able to enjoy their last years without trouble.

I won’t go into huge detail about end-of life care for a teacup because that’s a whole other topic that I could write on and on about, but it’s a process determined by you and your clown together.

So that’s the teacup life, roughly outlined, they are incredible creatures and surprisingly not as different to humans as one might think, in terms of lifespan and maturity. I’m so looking forward to when you get your newest clown, she really seems like something special, and tysm for the asks <33333 good wishes to all your little guys and best of luck with your new clown!!

Happy clowning :o)

SORRY FOR BEING SO LATE TO THIS I JUST MASHED ALL THE DAYS I MISSED INTO ONE

So the ones I missed were dessert, egg, mask, mirror, bug and game.

Dessert and egg were mixed into one concept. Basically the chucklets are the three milks used in tres leches cake, and they're an Oreo tres leches to excuse my use of cow spots for all three of them. The one in blue is regular milk, the one is red is evaporated milk and the one in yellow is condensed milk.

Their adopted dads watching them hatch are mask, bug and game. Mask doesn't have an actual face and uses a mask to express their emotions. Bug is based off of a peacock spider and game is a mix of candy land, dominos and Catan. In the background is the clown mirror and pictures of the husbands.

The story is that these three clowns fell in love with each other, and a couple of years into the marriage adopted these eggs and in the middle of the night, they started hatching. They spent the whole night making sure each one of them came out healthy and in the early hours of the morning, they welcomed their three babies into the world. I love my tendency to make clown families

Went to the vet and all is well!! However, the vet wasn’t too familiar with clown breeds, and couldn’t identify what the chucklet is

[3rdmissingsock]

So I have recently come into possession of another small clown. I explain it in the form description but basically a friend of mine breeds clowns and has offered to send me some babies from a litter of chucklets! The rest of the clowns are back at the breeders but this little bastard was just one too many and they sent her over to me to care for for the time being. She doesn't have a name yet so I've made a form you can use if you want to help name her

🎡Meet My Clowns!🍿

I had been planning this post for a while, but a certain surprise, as well as the urgency of the last two posts, I have only been able to get to it recently. I have 8, and that number is only going up! This post will focus on my current 8 clowns, as others will be posted later when attained. If you can provide assistance on the recognition of my mixed-breeds that would be greatly appreciated! I’m struggling to properly label them, which would provide much needed help for their medical care.

Singular Clowns

These clowns are clowns that are in my care alone, or have no familial relations in my care.

Spoonful 🥄

Spoonful the Clown was the clown that inspired my studies. He belonged to a friend who was in desperate need to rehome him. I decided to take him in and give him proper care while they got back on their feet, but after personal events with that person, his home with me is permanent. He is the smallest clown I have, coming in at around 5.5in. I do see some rodeo clown in him, but other opinions are appreciated.

-

Carousel 🎠

I only have one show clown, Carousel, and he retired a couple years ago. He is a purebred Essexshire Polka-Stripe. The orange nose is a genetic mutation that is common on the paternal side of his pedigree. This mutation arguably won him three local Clown Shows, as well as third place at the prestigious annual Westminster Big Top Clown Show. Only two of his five years of pageantry were spent in my care. He now prefers to spend his retirement leisure time in his tent , resting in his ball pit.

-

Pizza Party 🍕

Pizza Party was gifted to me by a neighbor who’s son’s clown had a litter. I call him Peezee for short. He is definitely a teacup. His features are similar to a set of twins I have, as well as quite a few clowns I’ve seen around Tumblr. He loves birthdays and related items, and is always excited for events, even if the event is simply watching a movie.

-

Familial Clowns

These clowns listed below are clowns that came with other family, or has familial relations in my care.

Birthday Cake and Party Favor 🎉

These two are the twins I mentioned above. I adopted the girls from the CCA about three years ago. I highly recommend adopting chucklets in need through their organization. I had my appointment set to adopt Party Favor (seen left), but after finding out she was a twin, I knew I had to take both. They’ve been nothing but a ray of sunshine for my little house of clowns.

-

Fortnite 👾

Her name needs not explanation.

She is by far the largest breed that I own. She has been recluse lately, for I will reveal the reason later on, but i was able to get her out of her tent for a quick photo. This is quite a large breed, coming in at a little more than 2.5ft. I am not sure what the breed could be, so I’d appreciate a little help if I could get it. Please read April’s entry below for details on their mother.

-

April ⛱

April is the younger sibling of Fortnite. They share the same mother, but have wildly different fathers. All I know for reference of the two of them is that their mother is a North American Goofball, and that she had blue hair and was at least 4ft tall. April, my second largest clown, was born with an indiscernible gender. They keep to themselves, but stay close to and play with Fortnite the most.

-

Pompom 🔴

Now, here is the big surprise that had been delaying this post: Fortnite was pregnant! She had been getting a little too friendly with a free-roam standard party clown in the neighborhood, got out one day, and within the hour she went missing she came back pregnant. Typically clowns her size give birth to litters of 3-5, but she only had a singular chucklet. He is only a week old. I was able to get ahold of him for a moment and determined that he was a boy. Here he is bundled up by his mother after a feeding. He was certainly unplanned, but he is certainly staying with us.

-

For now, that is all of my clowns. I am gathering more supplies, as well as widening our fence, to prepare for any new additions to my household. Thank you so much for reading, and if you have time to spare, please leave your speculations in the comments! Thank you.
