I would like to buy an airpistol that will kill rats. How much fps do I need to do this?

Is a Beesman P3 airpistol sufficient to kill ratsI would like to buy an airpistol that will kill rats. How much fps do I need to do this?
The Beeman will be more than satisfactory for killing rats. Pretty much any airgun will work, so long as you hit them well.





I don't know what kinda ';Ratzilla'; those other 'tards claim to have hunted, but they either need to learn how to shoot, or just stop lying.





BTW, shooting rats is a really good way to develop your instinctive shooting, providing you're somewhere where you won't damage anything or anyone.I would like to buy an airpistol that will kill rats. How much fps do I need to do this?
I suggest a 177 or a .22 either will do and as for fps most will achieve about 600ft per second
Spend a hundred bucks and get a .22 rifle. You can buy .22 caliber shotgun shells that have just enough *** in them kill rodents but not enought to damage the surroundings. Way more fun killing rats and the like with a 22 as opposed to a pellet gun
Why don't you just buy rat poison. You don't have to see them for this to work, unlike having to shoot them.
TONS cause you cant aim... HA wanker!!
With today's policing i would ask there advice on this if killing rats in your garden or land not with public access


and i think a pistol would just stun short riffle would be more


effective and police advice a must
any air rifle will work use .177 cal pellets. I would be careful outside you may hit someone or a window. rat pellets works real good. u dont want other animals eating them though.
just get a cheap pellet gun at walmart for about $40. If you want a bb pistol theres also a co2 one at walmart thats ot that expensive
An air pistol probably wont kill them, the fastest are only at about 300 fps, I recommend getting a cheap air rifle at walmart, the cheap kind shoot at 650 fps and are more than enough to do the job.

Is it true that the rats in New York city eat the cats?

Because they are biggerIs it true that the rats in New York city eat the cats?
Rats are omnivorous scavengers; they will eat anything (so a rat eating a dead cat is possible.) While rats can get surprisingly large, the average cat will still be bigger than the average rat.Is it true that the rats in New York city eat the cats?
Yes, and the alligators eat the dogs. It's balanced that way.
Only the Chinese and Korean ones.
Where did you hear this? I think that may be an urban legend.
Oh I wish! My cats could use a natural enemy, they rule the world the way things are.
no. not true
lol, no.





It's a joke.
What???

Is anybody knows,place where i can Get rid of my baby rats? i can ship them?

Please try to find a Rat Rescue organization. There are several rat groups on Yahoo!Groups and you can post there or ask about rat rescues at your local Humane Society. Don't take them to the pet store to become snake food.Is anybody knows,place where i can Get rid of my baby rats? i can ship them?
burn them nowIs anybody knows,place where i can Get rid of my baby rats? i can ship them?
You can take them to the Humane Society, where they will be put up for adoption!
Well, if you have a local pet store you can give them away, or you can go to www.craigslist.com and sell them with a free classified ad online! I see rats on there all the time for like $10 each to good families. If you give them away for free they will most likely end up as reptile chow.
Rats are great pets, look at your local pet stores many of them will buy or take rats that you give them as long as they are healthy. I used to have three pet rats that the store was selling as feeders. You can tell them you want yours sold as Pets
Pet stores will usually take them.. snake food.
sell them to a petstore
Give them a whirley
if they are 3 mouths or yonger sell them to a pet store
Here in Plano Texas I took a couple of litters over to the Outdoor Learning Center. They started a colony with them, to be used in feeding Katy the giant python, and other snakes.
You can ship them, sure.








But you can just let them free. Rats really love to be free. And there's no fine for that, unless you do it off the side of a road.
The local zoo might accept them, but they would use the rats as live food for the reptiles. I know this sounds mean.
I'm assuming that you want to find good pet homes for your babies. I wouldn't have it any other way.





Ask around your neighbourhood, ask friends, ask at schools





Put an ad in the paper





I wouldn't trust pet stores to sell your rats just as pets





Humane Societies are good because they are required to find pet homes for all animals. But if they can't find homes for the rats, they will euthanize them.





Look into shipping, it can be very expensive and most outlets will not take the responsibility of shipping live rodents.





I would love to take them but I have over 50 rats to care for right now.

When should I introduce my rats?

I have a new female rat who is smaller than my existing female. After I go through all the steps like putting their cages together and swaping cages and all of that, when should i introduce them? I have tried once and failed my older rat latched on to the younger ones neck... So when is the right time?When should I introduce my rats?
How to introduce rats: http://www.bruxnboggle.com/forum/viewtop鈥?/a>








Biggest thing is going slow. The person who said rats shouldn't be put together are uninformed and shouldn't be posting here. Rats are HIGHLY social, and 99% of the time would rather have a cage mate than none at all. Usually the 1% that doesn't live well with other rats are due to social problems from an early age -- no interaction ever with rats, usually male, traumatic experiences, etc.








When you do introduce htem out of the cage, do it in a neutral territory. Often a bathtub is a good option. I've heard that a person put pudding on their rats fur, which makes them more interested in getting the pudding off than hurting each other. You may have to do these short introductions on neutral territory MANY times before they finally get used to each other. NO BLOOD NO FOUL. Even if your bigger rat pins down the little one, and the little one screams bloody murder.... if there is no blood, there is nothing wrong with what they are doing. They have to be able to sort out their hierarchy on their own.





Let the small rat into the big rat's cage on occassion with the big rat OUT, and put the big rat in the small rat's cage ( again, NOT together). They will get used to smelling the other's scent in their area. When you do finally move them into the big cage, make sure you remove EVERYTHING, clean the cage with a bleach solution, and wash any hammocks, food dishes, etc. Put hammocks and stuff back in a different location than it was before. ALSO: put the cage in a different room than where it normally is. This helps to remove any extra territoriality the bigger rat may have over her space.





Good luck! When should I introduce my rats?
Before introducing rats, it is very important to quarantine them to prevent the spread of any germs or airborne illnesses. Quarantining means separating the rats in a completely different air space for up to 3 weeks, and then introducing them.





Speaking from personal experience, I did not quarantine my rats long enough, and one of them had an upper respiratory infection while the other did not. Because I failed to keep them apart for over 3 weeks, now they both have upper respiratory infections. This error has cost me a few hundred dollars in vet bills (but I love my rats so this is no big deal) and lots of medicine that they hate taking.





So please quarantine your rats before introducing them.





Otherwise, take your time with introducing them. Put their cages in the same room where they can see/smell/hear each other but cannot reach each other through the bars of their cage. Do this a few times a day until they are comfortable with each other.





Fur further details, please view the links I provided. There are a lot of web resources out there!






whenever I got new rats the way that i have done it is to put them on the bed or in a neutral territory make sure that you have cleaned the cage very well because the older female is very territorial. I also find that 2 females together fight more than having 2 males or a male and a female together. Good luck and I hope for the best
i have never done this with mine, but i was told once to introduce them in the ';dry'; bathtub, no smells of either rat in there and then watch them carefully until they start to get along. also make sure each rat has its own hut to go to so it can have a space
It is not a good idea to introduce rats because they sometimes fight until one of them dies.
you cant put to girls together they will kill each other

Is it ok to give rats frootloolps?

I was wondering if I could give my rats frootloops on a string? Please dont answer if you dont know!Is it ok to give rats frootloolps?
As a rare treat this would be ok. But I would not give them this treat more often than every 2-3 months. Too much sugar can cause health issues.Is it ok to give rats frootloolps?
yeah thats fine... not too many of course cause you don't want them to be unhealthy. but as a treat that would be just fine. rats can eat almost anything and be okay... but here is a list of food to be careful with





http://www-personal.umich.edu/~bclee/rat鈥?/a>
ok i would not because of the sugar and thats not good for rodents try giving it hony nut cherois good luck! have fun with your little pet!
I would suggest against it. Frootloops are very high in sugar and could make your rat sick. Try regular cheerios, my rats love them! :D





Good luck =)
thats true.. frootloops have too much sugar and i don't think it would be so good for your rat.. i prefer cheerios
No-- too much suger--try corn flakes or cheerios
They are fine, in moderation!

How is your rat or rats with strangers?

my rats never meet strangers. but i had to take my rat kenai to the vets today, there was a few people in reception and i was worried he would freak out. but the nurse on the front desk held him and he enjoyed that, and he was on the counter and he thoroughly enjoyed being stroked by these kids that came in. he even licked one of them.How is your rat or rats with strangers?
All 3 of my girls really enjoy meeting new people. Mallie just knows when she is around people that do not like rats. She will do anything she can to get to that person. She is relentless and will not give up until she has met them. She thinks she is a rat advocate, she has already changed at least 4 peoples minds about rats! Go Mallie!How is your rat or rats with strangers?
Hi!





My ratty, Jazz, doesn't really like new people unless they've visited him a few times.


It's not that he's unfriendly, he just isn't comfortable. He'll sniff them but he won't leave the comfort of my shoulder unless he's smelt them at least a few times over a few weeks, lol.


He finally went onto my other half today for a cuddle but panicked because I moved slightly away from him and wanted to come back to me immediately, bless :)


He goes to my Mum, though, because she gives him treats even though I tell her not to! Hehe :)
My blue male and my blue female are very friendly with strangers. They arent as comfortable with them as with me (obviously), but will sit quietly on their hands or shoulders until I pick them back up. My black and white male and female (funny how the colors worked out, because none of them are related) are much more skittish, and it takes extra time on my part to get them to be held. They dont bite or attempt to bite anyone though, so for that im thankful :-)
Pet rats are very good with other humans and children. Thats why they make good pets. The woman at the front desk obviously knew how to handle him, but the kids im not sure if you would of wanted them to pick him up. But for the future, they do like humans and they love to be handled if handled the right way!





Good luck and Hope this helped!
My rat is very good with meeting new people. I sometimes take her out on my shoulder, and the neighborhood kids love coming up and holding her. She's very good-natured about it and puts up with quite a bit!
thats great! my rat lacy loves people and even goes up to my cat! but my other rat peanut is very skiddish so if your rats ever get nervous or anything around people its ok. rats are very social and loving animals
My rat Otis LOVES people.


And my rat Aaden is a little shyer but warms up quickly.


Its just depends on their personality.
Mine are perfectly fine with everyone they've met.

What are the differences between rats and mice physiologically and anatomically?

Rats are basically really big mice.
