I feel like this is a question i should be answering as I am e photographer, but honestly, all of my good pics are taken with my DSLR in their enclosure with whatever light is available. That is why my pics are all taken at iso 3200.
I am too lazy to set-up anything. i fell that i would need lamps (no flashlight as this might disturb the hamster). I only have 1 video lamp that will not raise the temperature by 5 degrees celsius.
So all of my pics are taken with the hamsters in their cage.
