I think the life span of a cricket is 6-8 weeks. So, it depends on how mature the crickets are when you buy them. If they're full grown, they shouldn't last more than a week. If you buy them at say 1/2" or so, they will probably last 2-3 weeks.
You can buy crickets online and have them shipped to you. They sell them in different sizes and it gives the life expectancy of each size.
