For rabbit, I would go #6 for dumb ones that let me get in close and #4 for "out yonder" bunnies...
For tree rats, 7 1/2 for normal height and leaf cover trees and maybe #6 for higher thicker canopy cover.
But I would prefer a 20 gauge over .410... Per ounce on ingredient it is hard to spend more than buying .410 loads.
If you use tree trunk as back stop and the torso to slow and deform the bullet, a .22 is fine in the trees.
