Even with food and water, I've never had much luck keeping them alive over a week. Bought crickets seem to have a short life span. I've even made a water bottle from a plastic coke bottle that works well, and used cat food for food. They'll live about a week, but that's about it for me. Does anyone have any ideas how to make them last longer?
