Need fly advise

[Vince]

Just wondering if some of the fly users here can give me some tips.
How do you get the fly's Into the chams cage without them excaping ?
Is it cool to put them in the fridge to slow them down?
Once the eggs have started to hatch can I put them into the fridge to stop them from hatching? And take them out and let hatch as I need them?
How long can the alive fly's stay in the fridge without dying?
Thanks

Yes. Put them in the fridge for a minute or freezer for 20 - 30 seconds.
Then, quickly, run to your chameleon cage and dump some.

Yes. Put them on the lowest rack. 35 F

How long can the alive fly's stay in the fridge without dying?
I take them out to warm up every 2- 3 days. After about a week or two, you would see a massive die out.
