Second, your clowns have to be properly fed. | know people have previously gone over proper clown care and feeding (fresh spun cotton candy is a must, they're obligate candyvores), but introducing the breeding pair can be a very stressful time for clowns. It's a good idea to supplement your candy diet with some fresh salted popcorn, or maybe giant novelty lollipops- you know, regular clown treats. This will help your clowns feel more at ease as they transition into your breeding tent. [photo of popcorn] Finally, clowns can be particular about when they mate. You’ll know it's happening because of the distinctive high pitched honking both breeding partners produce. It can take up to a week for clowns to acclimate to their mate and the tent you've transferred them to, so don’t get discouraged if you put your clowns together and nothing happens for a few days! They may just be skittish. Feel free to introduce additional toys and treats like a fresh batch of balloons or a unicycle to try to help them feel comfortable. What I've found with my clowns, back when | did this, is that most. clowns seemed to prefer breeding between four and seven a.m., when chances for frivolity and merriment are low regardless. Now, the honking is extremely loud, so if you are going to breed your clowns, invest in some earplugs and a white noise machine.
