Getting the best shots can be very difficult but just a few silmple tips should get you at least half decent shots

First off a good camera is always best, something that allows you to adjust shutter speed and apature but a lot of compacts allow you to do this these days so you dont have to spend hundreds on it

A fast shutter speed will get the least blurry photos (1/2000 is a good place to start)

Lots of light! With a high shutter speed you will need a lot of light to stop you getting dark photos. Usually a large window with lots of sunlight shinning through is perfect, even more so if your hammy is on a reflective surface such as inside a white bath - but sometimes there isn't enough sunlight so using the cameras in-built flash will often freeze a hammy mid action and it also means you can use a high shutter speed.

Finally, its been said before just take a ton of shots and keep the best. There isn't a single professional photographer out there that just takes one perfect shot, you take an average of 10-30 per sequence and keep 2/3 favourites The rest is just down to timing and luck

You can't get them to 'pose'
Try using food .. but Buttons won't even bother with food outside the cage as she just wants to get on the move

Try putting the TV on, can sometimes get their attention? And offering food! =)

None of mine really sit still for posed photos. So my best options are to take photos when they are
  • asleep
  • eating
  • cleaning
  • resting somewhere
  • on a wheel
  • and then random photos in motion that sometimes come out in good focus
I take lots and delete lots, and every once in a while a few good ones end up edited and saved
