So yeah, I think you're going to need all the bugs you can get.
How do you keep your crickets, Elly? You can extend lifetime of these guys by giving them their own enclosure and a constant source of food and water & clean out in between batches. I've had very little die off most of the time, when I manage to purchase good healthy crickets to begin with (*shakes fist at stupid Petco!*).
