Mike,
Fruit flies are a very poor choice for any chameleons as a staple diet. You are far better off with small crickets which you can gutload yourself. You cannot gutload fruitflies, and from nutritional standpoint, that makes them a very narrow, and not staple, choice of nutrition. 1/8" crickets or larger are fine, depending on the size of your chameleons. Judge by the distance across the top of the head of your chameleons. Do not waste your money ordering pinheads. For growing chameleons (first 4 months), a simple but effective gutload is any brand of fish-flakes, and either frozen green vegetables, or fresh collards or spinach greens. Forget the fruit flies, except as a snack.
