FROM THIS CARESHEET: http://www.nyworms.com/ccare.htm
Temperature
Crickets thrive at temperatures higher than those in the average house. They prefer 80-90 degrees F. (26-32 degrees C.), however they seem to live longer at somewhat lower temperatures - something to keep in mind if you want to keep an excess of crickets alive as long as possible.
Smaller crickets require warmer temperatures. Pinheads do best at 88-92 degrees F., with 1/2 to 3/4 inch doing best at 80-92 degrees F. and adults at 75-85 degrees F.
Cricket nymphs (smaller than pinheads) held at 80 degrees F. require up to 60-65 days to mature, while those kept at 90 degrees F. require only 30-35 days to complete their development.

Hahaha! That's why I only buy my crickets the day before, so I can gutload them and get rid of them. They get nowhere near that deluxe a treatment They get fluker's gut loader, oats as substrate, some pieces of egg carton and a little cap full of the water gel. Then it's off to the plastic cone of death and Shelob's (or Thor's) merciless jaws
