Trying photography with flash

[GoclPa]

i want to learn about photography using flash.. and how using several flashes i can setup a nice bounce on my subjects..
e.g my pet hamsters i have been trying to take.. but i use iso 400 and 1/100s to take without flash.. i cant flash them.. so was advised by one to use bounce flash.. using flashes.. which i dont have... i cant direct flash a hamster..

can someone recommend me some cheap/suitable flashes to use in this instance?

OT. Hey, I took some pictures of my pet hamsters with my S45, but I used the internal flash.
