Mass cricket death--help?

[Ash]

One thing I meant to mention in my above post on acquiring and keeping crickets that "don't die too soon" is to be careful with used egg flats and cartons as they can harbor salmonella and coccidia and other undesirable pathogen. If you must re-use them then find a way to make them a bit more sterile like low temp- baking them or microwaving.

It sounds like you do the same thing that I do for my frog... I just buy it from the petstore, keep the crickets in the same bag, give them a moist paper towel and then give them some flukers cricket food and I usualy only lose 2-5 of the 15 crickets I get. Not sure why yours are dieing but I agree with everyone else, you should switch from the flukers and go to moist cottonball/paper towel. Oh and whenever I put them into a different container they just die.
