Greetings: i was wondering if you had any good sources on getting into clown husbandry, like the established breeds, good foods, enrichment, etc sorry if this is a bother - rock
OH WHY HELLO THERE! No of course you could never be a bother, dear sweet rock. May I call you Rock? Or would it be more polite for a first meeting to call you by your full name, Rock-Eater or mayhaps ‘Dwayne the Rock Johnson’... Either way, I am always happy to humor those who seek my knowledge. COME and I shall avail of you my GREAT and STORIED wisdom.
As an elder clown myself, it is odd to think of my fellows in terms of breeds... rather, when our kind traveled from our original dimension along the inbetween (pocket dimensions loosely tethered to your reality and once tethered to our original reality) there were but three kinds of clowns- the colorful, the colorless and the clawed. Think of the colorful as the precursors to party clowns, jack and the boxes and the like, the colorless, as the precursors to mimes and Pierrots, and the clawed as the precursors to horror and scare clowns. Once in your dimension there was an explosion of differentiation as we adapted to suit this world.
Now there are English Jack-in-the-boxes, North American Pratfalls, ragamuffins, rodeo clowns, teacup jugglers and miniature porcelains, all filling their respective ecological niches. The children of the first few have spread so far and so wide, we have truly made this new dimension a home...
As for your second question- FOOD. I’m all for it myself, this old clown does love to nosh on a good funnel cake or cone of cotton candy. The best foods for clowns are the ones that resemble what we could once find in our dimension. There are not cotton candy bushes here to pluck the soft billowy blooms from, nor are there hot dogs swimming in the streams, but we make due very well indeed with the counterfeits that can be made using your human technology. I can sometimes close my eyes and imagine that I am picking up a tuft of cotton candy straight from the bush, or that the hot dog in the bag in freshly caught, or that the chocolate sauce in my refrigerator came from a proper chocolate bog... Anyways, the more processed the better. There is something unpalatable regarding the natural foods of your world, so most clowns prefer to taste it as little as possible.
OH HO HO and as for ENRICHMENT, well, it truly does depend on the clown, but you can never go wrong with appropriately sized toys and trampolines. Otherwise, scare clowns tend to love horror movies, juggalos love attending college dorm or house parties, and teacup mimes love to sharpen pencils and go on bloodthirsty hunts for rats within the walls, all good fun...

Anywho, do take a slice of complementary cake and pizza on your way out. I hope that you visit me again when your thirst for knowledge becomes UNQUENCHABLE. Toodles! :oD
