hahahahha.....some of us aussies get it too ..good yarn...."mixo" was introduced here in the 50s or there abouts i understand here in Australia.. to try and steady the plague proportions that were evident...coincidentally rabbits seem to go hell for leather in the cot when there is Drought over here...where some animals shut down thre reproducing well the rabbits seemed to go at it hammer and tong.....there a pretty sad sight when affected by mixo..there eyes swell up like a honeymooners frankfurt..abd u definately should not eat them.......lmao
