So there are three rabbits with three different genes here

Homozygous rabbits for one allele are small rabbits

Homozygous individuals for the other allele are deformed and die

Heterozygous individuals are dwarf

As asked if any two of the three mated then the proportion that offspring be dwarf is 2/3
