when 1 cricket dies, it releases this poisonous gas that kills other crickets around it.Immediately remove the dead ones. give them moist dog food for food and for water, you can give them a wet paper towel.Also, put an egg carton in there for them to hide in and to reduce cannibalism

you can put dog food in a cup full of water and then wait at least 10 minutes or longer.after that, take out the dog food and then you will see that the food is bigger and softer(this will help the crickets not struggle with the hard food, and it will keep them hydrated).

i just put the food in either way because the crickets love to drag the food to their spot or away form the food bowl.

The Crickets don’t live very long after reaching adults anyways. Did you give them something to lay there eggs in?
