Cambofarm Rabbitry

Rabbit I am always a fan. Sweet and affectionate creatures.

Still one of the most selected as a pets in the world.
Aside from their fragile nature they are very intelligent pets.
I am not sure if you agree but they are.

Cambodia as a country after the Khmer Rouge has been so isolated when it comes to animals as pets and the lack of understanding how to raise and look after the animals as pets are still need to be introduced and need more guidance from the parents.
I think if I have small children I will introduce them to animals while they are young.
I always heard a lot of anecdote that some of Khmer mothers when their children start to cry most of them will then say. “Stop the dog will come here to eat you when you don’t stop crying“which right away goes to the head of a child. That’s why a lot of these children are so afraid of the dogs or cats.

I think to educate the children about animals at their young age should be encourage.

Introducing a pet to a child will actually increase children's knowledge on how to look after the animals.
The responsibility that goes with in and rabbit is a good pet to start with.
They are very sweet temper animal.

Cambofarm rabbitry  probably the first small rabbit farm been heard in Cambodia.

The young couple Keo Malen and her husband has been looking after 200 ++ rabbits in their small farm next to their residence. Amazingly the rabbits are growing so fast.

They have beautiful breeds in addition of their local breeds.

The lion head, Mini Rex, Holland lop and angora all are beautiful breed you only need to choose which pets are suited to you according to your needs and lifestyle.

        this is Angora fluffy 

          Mini Rex

                                                                             Holland lop

          rare color for rabbit ( siamese color)

Angora you need to spend more time in combing and grooming them plus actually this breed if for cooler 

climate Malen rabbit surely has been disclamatise.
But would be good if during hot season the rabbits should have moving electric fan to keep their fur cool and avoid dehydration.

If there’s a market of all these rabbits in Cambodia then there’s a family who can breed and supply the local market .

Not as for human food consumption yet but for pets.

To be honest I actually was so against eating the flesh of the rabbit I could not handle that.

But if others do that then that was their choice.

Malen told me that a lot of people actually was looking for such breed for food consumption and this breed she plans to import from New Zealand I ask her if does she likes the idea of that?

She said she will of course separate the pets breed rabbit than the rabbit for food consumption.

Still of course I am not so keen about it, but if they want to do it.

I encourage her to invite some locals’ schools to visit her farm.
I guess it would help a little bit too exposed more of her rabbits and more people encourage to adopt for pets.They actually have nice place, very nature in my opinion, they have nice farm for vegetables.

I presumed they consumed them and some of them they feed to the rabbits.

They have as well water lilies at the back, some sweet cane grass all for the consumption of the rabbits.

Plus they grow some of the grass they feed and those breed one they gave them feeds that they import from Thailand. Surely the rabbits cost money to raise them.
Although Malen maintained that her rabbit remained not vaccinated but in Cambodia even our vet don’t do vaccination for rabbits or guinea so I hope one day the more rabbits are being raise in Cambodia then might have a vet doctor for this rodents type.

For some of you who are thinking of adding or thinking to have a pets to your family.

Please consider few things before adopting.

1) Do you have time to look after the pets?

2) Listen to your heart carefully before considering adoption. Today this little fur in cute and pretty tomorrow they become bigger and your interest and priorities have changed?

What would you do dump the animals? Many cases are like this scenario.

I have some of these pets as some of the expats have changed their prior so my families come and help.

3) Can you afford to have pets; rabbits just don’t eat grass sometimes like humans we have to eat some varieties of food as we called for rabbits is treats!

4) They need grooming and taming, you need to always clean their cage houses as they urinate frequently. If you don’t want stinky house you need to retained their place cleaned.

5) Do you have other pets cats or dogs ? You need to make sure they  will not harm them.

6) Do you have a space for your new pets ?

So please think twice before adopting new pets. Animals has to be treated fairly they have their own rights.
