Sometimes I just get lucky! Hi there Leigh Parker. I was surfing the search engines for rabbit related websites using the keyword rabbit cage and found your awesome page with the title 52 signs to tell if you're a Rat Lover .... I am looking for ideas on how to improve my own site using different keywords and was amazed how easy it was to find your site using the keyword rabbit cage. Perhaps we could do a link exchange at some point. Anyway, thanks for your time and I’m glad I found your site.
