There are a few rules of thumb regarding rabbit and goat poop.
Now what *I* do might not always be correct and your mileage may vary.
The government and those afraid of ecoli and stuffs say to compost ALL animal manure for a minimum of like 60 or 90 days. You'd have to look that up as I kinda think it's hogwash on a small scale farm. I would only worry about it for large scale production and feeding the population and not thorough washing.
Rabbit and goat poop CAN burn plants that are sensitive to nitrogen if the urine is mixed in with the poop. Like if you scoop it out from under the hutch. You can separate it using a grate and gutter system that is easy. I find that here in Hawaii however we get SO MUCH RAIN that it is a non issue here at our house. I just scoop it out from under the hutch and toss it around the bottom/drip area of the plants.
