Guest basil46 Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 You have been asked to do a job because you`ve proved yourself to be reliable and trustworthy and they obviously think you`re up to the job, so congratulations are in order. Word of mouth is a powerfull thing, it can make you or break you, so look after the job cause you never know what it may lead to. Good luck. basil. Quote Link to post

I prefer to do it per rabbit as i do not see it as a job but as a sport. You seem a professional getting that many rabbits so i am not suprised ou get that many. Quote Link to post
