Short description
The Easter Bunny That Grew up is based on the life of Flopsy Parker. A little rabbit who was adopted for $7.50. Through his Facebook page, he inspired adoption,love,and the message that the greatest treasures are sometimes the ones that other people discard. This story is a tribute to the people who loved him,the lives he touched, and the big life he lived.
On September 26th, 2010 Flopsy Parker found his forever home when he was adopted for $7.50. To try and raise awareness to the plight of rabbit rescues, his mother created him a Facebook page. One by one he got more and more friends.
By January, his photos were featured on the websites of Animal Planet, Martha Stewart, and Petfinder. His message of adoption he spread on Facebook landed him on television and in newspapers. He was even perhaps the first rabbit ever quoted by the Wall Street Journal.
In July 2011, his mother launched a 501c non profit organization Baskets for Bunnies, Inc. to raise supplies for rabbit rescues. He inspired her to want to give other rabbits the life he had with her. He became the official spokesbunny.
In December 2011, they started Toys for Hops with the help of Pet Rabbit Toys. Together in 16 days, and the help of Flopsy's friends on Facebook they raised almost 2000 toys that were sent all across the US to rabbit rescues.
