Too many blue bottle fly in my cage

[zoner]

Hello.

Need some advice. Yesterday I got some BB flies and put too many inside my cham's cage and they all hatched right away due to the warmth here in SOCAL There are SO MANY buzzing around in there and some even landing on my cham's body. I am sure he is bothered by it. What is the best way to go about capturing some of these flies? Also I left some food for the flies by the bottom of the cage but they don't seem to go down there to eat them.

Just take the cage outside and shake them out. If they are landing all over him it's prob stressing the little guy out. Which could cause him to stop eating. Don't waist anytime doing this.

Shop vac. Bucket Head at the hardware store for $24, another few bucks for the bucket. Very hand, if a bit noisy.
