Travelling to the south from the heart of the capital on HE Boulevard for about 35 minutes, then turning left into a quiet neighbourhood brings you to a big plot of land, on which there is a small house. Close by is a large cage filled with hundreds of rabbits in different sizes and colours. There is no signage, but rabbit lovers in the kingdom know this place as Cambofarm Rabbitry, the first and only rabbit farm in the whole of Cambodia.

The young couple started building small cages for them, but it was not long before the rabbits outgrew them. By that time, Malen learned her real passion was raising these adorable animals, not selling air tickets. Thus, she quit her job to spend all her time on building a farm. Sovannarin, who always supports his wife’s endeavours, gave up his small garage soon after.

Malen and Sovannarin are now managing a farm with more than a thousand rabbits of various species, including the rare breeds in the country such as Flemish Giant, Holland Lop and New Zealand Red. Every day, they are receiving countless orders from people, both locals and expats, who want to own these adorable creatures.
