Their bright eyes and mischievous antics would melt the hardest of hearts.
But these bunnies found themselves abandoned because they suffered the misfortune of being born with missing ears.
Benny and Bluebell are each missing one ear while Polo has lost both.
The rabbits were brought into Chesterfield's RSPCA branch and are seeking new homes.
Staff at the centre say they are unsure if the ears are missing due to birth defects.
Deputy manager Gary Taylor said the rabbits were found in a basket abandoned on a doorstep in Chesterfield.
He added: "We can't say for sure how they lost their ears. It may be because the mother was stressed when the babies were born and chewed them off or they could have been born this way.
"They are young and need plenty of handling but they are smashing rabbits.
"They are very friendly and will make great pets."
