Rabbit Feces can carry the disease zoonotic but it's very unlikely that you will get infected with the zoonotic disease from a pet rabbit.

You're more likely to get infected with the zoonotic disease from a wild rabbits feces if you touch or and not wash your hands before eating.

You would really have to ingest the feces to get the disease zoonotic from the rabbit feces and that is unlikely unless you're a toddler or small child curious about the poop.

If you have kids especially small kids you should keep the toddler or small child away from the feces and not allow them to eat the rabbit feces.
