 Just bought crickets & they are all dying 3 hrs later!

I just purchased 75 crickets from my pet store, where I go all the time on a regular basis & have never had a problem in the past. I transferred them from a brown paper bag into their plastic "cricket house" 3 hours ago and came home to lethargic dying crickets. I did not feed & watergel right away, as I was late to an appointment. They now have food & gel and some are moving around, but most are dead- what happened? I don’t want to feed these guys to my pets if somethings up, please help! Thanks!

Too cold? Too hot? Possibly dehydrated. I’ve realized that when I don’t have a water source in my cricket tub, that they start to keel off. And when there’s not a food source, they start to eat each other lol
