“Louie” Becomes The First Raccoon to Be Named Cadbury Bunny

A Florida pet named Louie became the first raccoon to earn the title of Cadbury Bunny.

The 2-year-old pet from Miami was the winner of the sixth annual Cadbury Bunny Tryouts and will have a role in the 2025 Cadbury Bunny Tryouts commercial, an Easter tradition for the brand.

Louie’s owner, Jaime, rescued him in 2021 when he was deemed unfit to live in the wild,.

The raccoon won the hearts of voters on Instagram with his friendly face and his special skill: creating paintings to be sold to benefit wildlife rescue and rehabilitation centers.

Louie follows in the footsteps of previous Cadbury Bunnies including Crash the Rescue Cat, Annie Rose the Therapy Dog, Betty the Frog, Lieutenant Dan the Treeing Walker Coonhound and Henri the English Bulldog.
