My Crickets keep dying

OK I posted before about this with little help....but I’m still having prob. I’m going to throw out an idea that just came to me on why they may be drooping after only 5hrs in my care. I’m a heavy smoker and the room I’m keeping them in is my smoking room, it gets really Smokey sometimes ...being that crickets breath through there skin I’m thinking maybe there dying from this, I’m not having prob. with my meal worms (my skink is ...not her fav. food)....what do you guys thing....I’m getting real tired of going to the pet store every day and only picking up 3 crickets because I can’t keep them alive longer than a few hours....any input or ideas will help no matter how crazy they may be.

spider45 had a good idea.

Quit smoking and you will be able to buy $4 worth of crickets everyday.

are u feeding the crickets? U need to feed them veggies dark greens fruit for water and fish food is also good. After all u are what u eat, and your animals are also. So good fed criks are the best... will help them and your animals live longer. Glad u moved them ... could not be healthy for your animals that eat them.
