 Cricket disease?

Everytime I buy crickets from the petstore, they die in like 1-2 weeks....and they are not adults...Why is this?

Well, I keep about 2 dozen of them in a 4.5 gallon, I have 3 stacks of egg cartons, 2 are covered with oats, but there is a tube that leads in to both of them, I feed them potatoes, carrots...they have oats for bedding, they have a good sized water dish, I keep it at room temperature, and...well that’s their basic environment
