 Cricket Deaths?

Lately I’ve been having the majority of my crickets die on me. Last Wednesday 2 thousand 3/8" crickets arrived. They have been kept in a five-gallon bucket w/ out the top on and are fed daily with assorted greens and bearded dragon pellets. I’ve probably fed off about 500-700 of them. The rest are dead. I originally thought they only the sheds were in the botom, but I looked closer and it is full bodied dead crickets. Also, the room they are kept in stays around 85 degrees (give or take). Does anyone know what could be going wrong?

There is always the possibility some are escaping? Personally, I never like buckets. I keep mine in rubbermaid containers. Give them egg crates, food and water, and you should be fine! This is a link to a great site on crickets check it out!:
