Rahim's absence means reserve wicketkeeper Nurul Hasan's is likely to make his ODI debut at Nelson on Thursday.
Bangladesh coach Chandika Hathurusingha said: "We are looking at two weeks, anything before is a bonus for Mushfiqur.
"He's been one of the form batters as well as wicketkeeper in all formats, but injuries are part and parcel of the game."
The third ODI, also in Nelson, is on December 31, while Bangladesh face New Zealand in three T20 internationals between January 3-8.
They will be followed by two of Test matches at Wellington and Christchurch, starting January 12 and January 20 respectively.
