As soon as that creepy bunny started showing up on people’s islands to initiate an egg hunt, different types of eggs would show up. But not just here and there, they were everywhere. Floating through the sky, swimming in the water, hidden in rocks, you name it. The abundance of eggs was lessening the crafting materials obtained from trees, rocks, etc. Additionally the egg inundation issue was frustrating people in the northern hemisphere. This is because the egg hunt coincided with the ten days at the beginning of April where Cherry Blossom recipes could be crafted. The recipes for these could only be obtained from red balloons and clear bottles washed ashore. However, the colorful bottles on the shore and the whooshing of colorful balloon presents indicative of Bunny Day eggs/recipes, became so irritating
that I nearly yeeted my switch console out of my first storey window. Anywho, it seems that Nintendo have listened. The latest patch for the game lessens the drop rate of Bunny Day eggs in Animal Crossing: New Horizons.Nintendo Japan posted the following on their website:
This means that if you have updated the game to version 1.1.4, the drop rate of eggs will lessen. That is until that blasted bunny returns on the 12th for Bunny Day, when there will be more eggs again. Yay.
The word egg has lost all meaning. Thanks Zipper.

Players living in the Northern Hemisphere may have noticed pink cherry blossom trees ‘springing’ up amongst the usual trees. You might also have noticed the pink cherry blossom petals floating through the air. These petals can be caught with a net and used in Cherry Blossom DIY recipes. This event will last between the 1st of April to the 10th April. Unfortunately, it coincides with the Bunny Day egg hunt, where that blasted bunny Zipper, is inundating everyone’s islands with eggs galore, making Cherry Blossom recipes a little harder to find. So for those of you living in the Southern hemisphere who may be feeling left out, don’t be, as you’ll likely be able to participate in this event in October, when that creepy bunny has hippity hoppity-ed his way off of your property. Anywho, here is every Cherry Blossom DIY recipe in Animal Crossing: New Horizons.
Tips On Obtaining All Of The Recipes
- Shoot down every floating present with a red balloon attached. There is a chance that you may find a new Cherry Blossom recipe inside.
- Check your beach areas for bottles that have washed ashore. These may also contain Cherry Blossom recipes. If you spot aa colourful bottle, it will contain a Bunny Day recipe instead.
- Talk to your villagers as much as possible. They may share a Cherry Blossom recipe with you from time to time. Or a Bunny Day one… ?
- Visit deserted islands, as you may find Cherry Blossom Recipes there also.
- Make sure to play your game every day, as during a morning announcement, you may receive a DIY recipe.

Bunny Day, which has essentially always been Animal Crossing’s version of Easter, will occur on April 12th this year. However, things are deifinitely being ‘Switched’ up in regards to the way it works in New Horizons. Rather than being just a one day event, players can participate in an egg hunt from April 1st to the 12th. From the different types of eggs, to the Bunny Day themed DIY crafting recipes, here’s everything you need to know about Bunny Day in Animal Crossing: New Horizons.
How To Kick Off Bunny Day
Whilst Bunny Day in New Horizons is on the 12th of April, players can participate in an egg hunt that lasts from the 1st of April to the 12th. On April 1st, Isabelle or Tom Nook will announce the upcoming Bunny Day event. If they haven’t done this yet, it means that you will need to download the latest patch for the game. Your next task is locating Zipper T. Bunny.
About Zipper T. Bunny
Zipper T. Bunny usually appears on Bunny Day, and first made an appearance in City Folk. He has also appeared in New Leaf, Pocket Camp, and now in New Horizons. It’s heavily implied that he is someone wearing a costume, due to his name and the zipper on his back. Additionally, his mutterings have often suggested that he’s wearing a suit.
In New Leaf, he would become self-conscious and anxious if a player tried to talk to him from behind/look at his Zipper. This is impossible in New Horizons as he just keeps hopping around to face you.
Where To Find Zipper T. Bunny
It could take you a little while to find him on your island as he apparently will hide (although I found him hopping around in the plaza. Great game of hide and seek there buddy!). However, as he is forever hopping around, you should listen for hopping noises to help you locate him. Once you have found him, he will inform you that he has hidden different types of eggs around the island. The blasted bunny will then inform you that he has also hidden a load of Bunny Day recipes as well. If you find all of the recipes and craft them using the eggs you find, Zipper will reward you.
The 6 Different Types Of Eggs And Their Uses
There are 6 different types of eggs that can be found on your island (and other deserted islands). These can be used to craft the various Bunny Day recipes. The 6 egg types include:
- Leaf Eggs: These can be spotted on trees and collected by shaking the trees like you would to gather fruit
- Sky Eggs: These can be obtained by popping any colourful looking ballons that float by with your slingshot
- Water Eggs: These can sometimes be acquired when fishing, and will look like medium sized fish.
- Stone Eggs: These will sometimes appear amongst rocks, clay, iron nuggets. etc, when you hit rocks with a shovel (or axe).
- Wood Eggs: These can be obtained alongside the usual different types of wood that you get when hitting trees with an axe.
- Earth Eggs: These can sometimes be acquired by digging up the star shaped areas that normally indicate the presence of a fossil.
Tips On Finding The Bunny Day Recipes
- Shoot as many colourful Bunny Day balloons out of the sky as possible. Sometime you will receive a Bunny Day recipe as opposed to a Sky Egg. The Bunny Day balloons will float across your island more frequently that normal balloons.
- Speak with other Residents as often as possible. Sometimes they will provide you with a Bunny Day recipe
- Collect lots of eggs and keep them in your pockets. This will sometimes give your player the inspiration for a new recipe when they find eggs.

Unlocking The Egg Party Clothes & The Materials Needed
By simply collecting as many of the different types of eggs as possible, you will unlock the recipes of all of the different egg outfits shown above. Once you have unlocked them all, you will be able to craft the Egg Party Hat and Egg Party Dress.
Zipper’s Rewards
After crafting all 37 Bunny Day recipes, speak to Zipper on the 12th of April. He will give you a recipe for a Wobbling Zipper Toy. If you craft this and then show it to him, he will give you the final reward, which is the Bunny Day Wand. This wand is a pretty cool item to own, as like other wands, it allows you to change outfits on the go.
