Even if you already have a garden hose—and especially if it's a kinky, dribbly one that’s hard to tighten on the spigot—this is an upgrade that I think is worth considering, especially as we head into warmer months. The Eley removes all of the small frustrations that come with using a garden hose, whether you’re filling up kiddie pools, washing the car, or tending to your springtime gardens. It’s so light I actually started laughing the first time I picked it up. Weighing in at about half the weight of others I’ve tested, it’s a breeze to maneuver around my vegetable garden, to use to fill up the sheep trough, and painless to lasso up at the end of the day. Unfortunately, this level of ease and finesse comes at a price. At a shade over $100 for a 50-foot length, it’s expensive. But I think it’s difficult to put a dollar amount on the delight it offers. Even if you don’t have sheep troughs to fill.

They will gently nibble your toes to get your attention, and when they’re content, they will collapse melodramatically, eyes ajar. But rabbits are also high-maintenance. Many animal shelters see a bump in their bunny population after Easter, and others are dumped in parks when their novelty wears off. It’s important that if you’re considering a pet rabbit, you know how to properly take care of them.
