Tips for Collecting Bunny Day Eggs in Animal Crossing: New Horizons

Bunny Day is a beloved seasonal event in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, kicking off on April 4 this year. Inspired by Easter, eggs play a central role in the festivities. While Zipper T. Bunny will give you the basics, there are some nuances you’ll want to uncover yourself. Below, we’ve outlined all six types of eggs and how to snag each one, along with what you’ll need to do with them. Most eggs require tools, so gather some materials beforehand. From my experience, there are plenty of balloons floating around, so crafting a slingshot is a must to ensure you don’t miss any. If you’ve got access to Nook’s Cranny, you can grab one from the back-left cabinet for 900 bells.

**Every Bunny Day Egg and How to Get Them**

Zipper reveals there are six types of eggs, but he only shares five methods for obtaining them. Here’s the complete rundown:

– **Leaf Egg**: Shake egg trees.
– **Stone Egg**: Hit rocks.
– **Water Egg**: Fish in the ocean.
– **Sky Egg**: Pop Bunny Day-colored balloons.
– **Earth Egg**: Dig up fossil-style cracks.
– **Wood Egg**: Hit trees with an axe.

Leaf eggs can be found hanging from trees, similar to fruit. While you’re at a tree, swing your axe (using a stone or flimsy axe to avoid chopping it down) to collect wood, as you might occasionally find a wood egg. This type is the least obvious, but a friendly villager might give you a hint. For water eggs, fish as you normally would, targeting the fish-shaped shadows. Sky eggs drop from popping special balloons with your slingshot, which may also contain DIY recipes. Earth eggs are dug up from cracks using a shovel, just like fossils. Stone eggs come from hitting rocks; to maximize your hits, clear the area around the rock and dig three holes just beyond one side. Stand in the middle, facing the rock, and you should be able to hit it eight times without needing to reposition. The rocks on Mystery Tour islands might also yield a good number of eggs, but we’re still verifying if they differ from those on your home island.

**What to Do with Bunny Day Eggs**

Throughout the event, you’ll collect various DIY recipes that require eggs as ingredients, so gather as many as you can. By crafting one of each Bunny Day recipe, Zipper promises a special gift. You can earn recipes by popping event-specific balloons, finding message-in-a-bottles on the beach, chatting with villagers, and collecting a certain number of each egg type, among other methods. Bunny Day is just around the corner, so get ready to make the most of this festive occasion!
