Morgen, Spencer, Genie, and Gideon are all under the care of the York and Harrogate district branch of the RSPCA and are each in search of a new home with female companions.
Ruth McCabe, deputy manager at the branch, said: “These male bunnies all found themselves in our care through no fault of their own and really do need some companionship.
“Rabbits are highly social animals and rabbits kept in pairs is ideal, especially a neutered male and neutered female.
“We are hoping our special appeal on Valentine’s Day will help each find loving homes for them with a nice female rabbit for them to live with.”
Morgen, the nine-month-old, is a “super friendly” bunny who found himself at the RSPCA after his previous owners were unable to care for him.
He loves his treats and a romantic meal would consist of veg for him, apparently.
He would make a great addition to a family with primary school age children.
Spencer is another nine-month-old who was also brought to the centre after his owners could no longer look after him.

He’s described as a great rabbit who loves treats and veg, and can live with children of primary school age.
Gideon, at just seven months, is a “sweet and friendly” boy looking for his forever home containing a female rabbit ready to bond with.
He came in with his brothers, but an unfortunate falling-out means he is now in need of a new companion.
Aged one, Genie was brought in by an inspector after his needs were not being met.
He will need some extra TLC and handling as he can be “a little skittish.”
The RSPCA has seen him improve significantly since he first arrived at the centre.
The RSPCA recommends that a medium-sized pair of rabbits are provided with accommodation measuring three metres by two metres and one metre high.
The animal charity does not believe typical rabbit hutches provide the amount of space rabbits need.
To help give them as much space as possible, owners may even consider using children’s playhouses or sheds as rest areas and attaching them to large, secure areas where they can exercise freely.
Alternatively, a shelter could be placed inside a large exercise run.
If rabbits are kept indoors, then they should have an indoor pen or even a rabbit-proofed room which is free of dangers such as wires and cables, according to the RSPCA.
More advice about housing rabbits is available on the RSPCA’s website.
