Animal Crossing Bunny Day 2026 Guide: All Eggs, DIY Recipes and Rewards

Spring has arrived in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, and Bunny Day is back! This guide walks you through everything you need to complete the event efficiently—from egg farming and DIY recipes to final rewards and time-saving strategies.

 

Bunny Day 2026 Quick Overview

Returning players: If you've completed Bunny Day in a previous year, Zipper will give you the Bunny Day Wand directly on April 5—no need to re-craft all furniture!

 

When Is Bunny Day 2026?

Bunny Day takes place on Easter Sunday, with a full week of activities leading up to it. The event runs from March 29 through April 5, 2026, with Zipper T. Bunny appearing in your plaza on both the first and last days.

 

All Bunny Day Eggs: Locations, Spawn Rates & Mechanics

Eggs are the core resource of the event. Each type is tied to a different activity—and understanding spawn mechanics is key to farming efficiently.

Egg Types & How to Get Them

 

Key Spawn Mechanics

• Eggs can temporarily replace normal resources (wood, fish, stone, etc.) during the event

• Mystery Islands (Nook Miles Tickets) have higher spawn rates for all eggs except Sky Eggs

• Coconut trees boost Wood Egg drop rates

Pro Tip: Use Nook Miles Tickets to farm Mystery Islands for faster egg collection—especially helpful for Earth, Leaf, Wood, Stone, and Water eggs.
