Mixy was an Australian program block on the ABC that featured Mixy Rabbit from The Ferals. After the Ferals' series ended, Mixy was used as a host for her new program block and introducing the shows in the morning.
In 2000, the puppeteer Mal Heap, who played Modigliana the cat from The Ferals, took on the role of Joe the Kangaroo alongside Mixy.
After the programming block finished in July 2002, Mixy continued appearing in ABC idents and on her own website in episodes until around the mid-2000s.

Website
In the early 2000s, Mixy's website was shown at the ABC Playground Website in-between shows behind painted blobs. Mousing over the green blob would display Mixy. Clicking on the character's image would present options of games, videos, fan messages and Joe the Kangaroo's corner.
