Dave,

Sure. May I ask what you are referring to when you say 'small animals?' For example, when I think small critters, I am thinking rats, chinchillas, etc. Believe it or not, when I shoot small critters like that, I use a 48 inch light box, much like what one would use for a product shoot. While I would not do a cat or a dog in it, it works great for rats and other small mammals. They also seem less stressed.
