Daisy bb gun, Red Ryder, or a 880 w/1-2 pumps, avoid head shots if you don't want to kill, once tried to 'sting a squirrel' for the heck of it, and killed it....head shot about 25 yds...not intended ...on that one!

Slingshot will do to, if you can hit with it.

Something on the Red Rider order or a pump style pnumatic where you can vary the velocity by the number of pumps (Benjamin's are nice but about $100) - that way if you decide to terminate one of the critters a few extra pumps will take care of the problem.
