Animal Crossing: New Horizon Bunny Day event: how to get eggs, recipes for bunny furniture and more

Bunny Day is officially here in Animal Crossing
The Bunny Day event is now live until April 12
Nintendo

Animal Crossing: New Horizons currently has two seasonal events going on, offering limited time DIY recipes and a lot of eggs.

Bunny Day is taking place alongside the new Spring season, which is taking place right now and features cherry blossom trees. You'd be forgiven for feeling just a touch overwhelmed with all the things you can do.

You will have to update your game to the latest version to start seeing the eggs appear on your island.

Between April 1 and 12, you've gotta make the most of your time and collect all the Bunny Day and cherry blossom recipes

Here's everything you need to know about the coinciding events.

What is the Bunny Day seasonal event?

It's a celebration of Easter, of course!

While you're out surveying your land, if you happen to see an egg-shaped balloon with a package flying by, you'll want to shoot that down as soon as possible - chances are it's a Sky Egg or a new Bunny Day recipe.

You might also notice a bunny mascot milling around your island. If you find the special character Zipper T. Bunny, he'll give you an egg-themed recipe to craft.

Explore every nook and cranny on your island (not the shop) as you'll find seasonal items like eggs and limited-time DIY recipes just lying around.

How long is Bunny Day running for?

Bunny Day is live now, from April 1 until April 12, so make the most of it! You won't want to miss out on any of these limited-time DIY recipes.

There will be a proper celebration on April 12 in-game, which is the official date of Bunny Day, so have fun in the meantime until the main event.

How to get different eggs:

Having trouble finding eggs? There are six different types and they'll appear totally randomly. There are Water, Leaf, Sky, Stone, Wood and Earth eggs, all of which can be collected while this event runs.

Fishing medium-sized shadows have a chance to give you a Water Egg, shooting down egg-shaped balloons has a chance to give you a Sky Egg,

Stone and Leaf Eggs can be found by hitting rocks and special trees respectively.

As well as dropping stones, clay or nuggets, rocks now have a chance to drop the special egg - and the same goes for trees. You'll notice these special trees as they will have three Leaf Eggs growing on them, just give them a shake.

Earth Eggs can be dug up from the ground. If you notice the mark of a diggable spot, get out your shovel and grab the egg!

Wood Eggs will be randomly dropped when hitting trees, just like with stones.

Also, when you pass a villager and they excitedly run up to you, they now have a chance at teaching you a Bunny Day recipe.

Zipper has hidden DIY recipes all around the island and the first time you talk to him he'll offer you a recipe for a Bunny Bed.

The closer we get to Bunny Day, the more recipes Zipper will hide - if you find them all and craft everything you'll get a special reward from Zipper. Pretty egg-cellent, no?
