How can you make they crickets live longer. I always give them food. I always give them some paper towel for climbing. I alway let them have a big area to live. Is there something wrong with what I am doing?

It doesn't seem like it. It isn't your fault they're dieing because they get gut-loaded by eating each other.

They don't eat each other!?! And yes they do die right when I get them.

A crickets life-span is only 5-6 weeks. When you buy a box of large crickets, they are usually in that part of thier life, or very very close to it. Put a couple of fresh pieces of carrots in there every 2nd of 3rd day, should help them live a couple of days longer  |

Exactly what spike said, Adult crickets are in that part of there life. Life of an adult cricket is about 6 weeks.
I recommend you buy just enough for a few days.
