Nothin' but fruit flies?

So my little cham refuses to eat ANYTHING but fruit flies. I tried wax worms, crickets, meal worms. Nope. She refuses to eat anything but fruit flies. The food I offer is always no bigger than the space between her eyes, so I know it's not that the food is to big. But the flies are to small to put the powder on! I give her as many as she'll want to eat in a day. What else is there I can offer her that she will eat? I feel like she isn't getting enough nutritiousness her little growing body needs):
Any suggestions?
 
Dust your flies.

Veiled and Barely a month.
How should I dust them? I tried but it NEVER gets on them, just their feet. How did you dust them?

Get a deli cup. I like to use a 18oz. cup for the fflies, add calcium and swirl them around to coat them.

Thank you! I'll do that. So do you think it's ok for her to be eating nothing but fruit flies as long as I can coat them?
 
I get the smallest crickets(both pinhead and non when unavailable) I can find. Gut load them for a few days and she just refuses. Throw a fruit fly in there. She's all over it! I keep telling myself at least she's eating! Just concerned she will be lacking some things. In other news I got a new bulb! Super excited about that! I found out her last one wasn't giving off uvb and went out straight away to get one that did! And she drank water in front of me!!! First time I have ever seen her drink anything. It is SO cute!
