The genotype of male rabbit is BbRr and female rabbit is bbrr.

Gametes produced by the male rabbit are BR, bR, Br, br. Gametes produced by the female rabbit is br.

Explanation:

The rabbits do have a variety of fur colour, while of them the black is the dominant one and the white is the recessive one. So denoting the gene of the fur colour of the rabbit by B,

The dominant colour black is B and the recessive colour white is b.

Rabbits do have a variety of eye colour as well. While the Black colour is dominant again, the red is the recessive.

So, denoting the gene for the eye colour by R,

The dominant eye colour black be R and the recessive eye colour red is r.

Thus, the genotype of male rabbit is BbRr and female rabbit is bbrr.

Therefore, gametes produced by the male rabbit are BR, bR, Br and br, whereas the gametes produced by the female rabbit is br only.
