Get ready to celebrate the arrival of spring in Animal Crossing: New Horizons! A happy little rabbit shows up on your island and brings with him the Bunny Day festivities. This event runs for multiple days and allows you to find eggs and craft them into Bunny Day-themed clothing and decor for your island. Here's everything you need to know about Bunny Day, including a breakdown of the activities you can participate in.
Even though Animal Crossing is one of the best Nintendo Switch games, the Bunny Day event was rather tedious for many people last year. Fortunately, there are a few changes this year, including a shorter event window and five new Bunny Day items. So, if you've experienced it before, it's still worth your while to participate.
When is Bunny Day 2021?
This year, Bunny Day runs from March 28th through April 4th. For anyone who experienced the event last year, you'll note that it now runs for only eight days instead of 12 days. This holiday initially lasted so long and felt so invasive that surviving Bunny Day felt like a major achievement.
What's new with Bunny Day in 2021?
The 2021 Bunny Day event mostly works the same as it did last year, but there are a few changes. As previously mentioned, it only lasts for eight days this year, unlike last year's 12-day stint. Additionally, five new Bunny Day items will be available to purchase from Nook's Cranny during that time:
| Item | Price |
|---|---|
| Bunny Day Candy | 1,300 Bells |
| Bunny Day Garden Flag | 1,500 Bells |
| Bunny Day Planter Box | 2,300 Bells |
| Bunny Day Topiary | 2,000 Bells |
| Bunny Day Tree | 3,800 Bells |
What is Bunny Day?
Every year when Spring rolls around in Animal Crossing, the island is visited by a yellow rabbit known as Zipper T. Bunny. Despite being called Bunny Day, the event runs for multiple days. Included activities involve finding six different types of eggs, earning different Bunny Day-themed DIY recipes, and crafting special Bunny Day items. More and more recipes will appear as it gets closer to actual Bunny Day. To get everything started, you'll need to locate Zipper T. Bunny on your island.
How to find Zipper T. Bunny
This yellow rabbit appears randomly somewhere on your island on March 28, 2021. He has a zipper running down his back, implying that he's actually a different villager in a costume, but no one knows who's inside. To find him, you'll need to run around and check every section of your island. Upon locating him, you'll kick off the Bunny Day event. Zipper will explain that there are different eggs and that you can craft special Bunny Day items.
Don't worry. If you missed the first day of Bunny Day, you'll receive a letter from Zipper in the mail with a recipe attached.
Types of Eggs and where to find them
There are six different egg types total, and they're each found in different locations. Here are all six along with where to find them:
| Egg | Where to find |
|---|---|
| Sky Egg | These will float over your island by a multicolored-striped balloon. If you suddenly hear wind, look around. A blue egg is probably flying by overhead. You should note that non-Bunny Day balloons will also be flying over your island during this time. |
| Leaf Egg | These appear on trees just like regular fruit. Run around your island and shake any trees that have green eggs in them. |
| Wood Egg | You'll harvest these the same way you'd harvest wood. Take an ax to a tree and see if any orange eggs pop out. |
| Stone Egg | Run up to a rock and use a shovel or a hammer to pound away at it. If you're lucky, some yellow eggs will pop out. |
| Water Egg | When you see fish shadows in rivers, ponds, and the ocean go ahead and cast your line. You might just catch a purple egg. |
| Earth Egg | If you come across cracks on the ground in your island, go ahead and dig them up with a shovel. Instead of finding fossils, you might just dig up a pink egg. |
How to get new Bunny Day DIY recipes
There are a few different ways to discover Bunny Day recipes.

If players take the time to craft all 18 Bunny Day furniture/decor recipes, Zipper T Bunny will reward them with a Wobbling Zipper Toy.
