well, i feed my leopard gecko large black crickets. I usually put them into a large cage for longer life. But this time i decided to experiment, i kept the crickets in the tiny plastic box which they come in ( about 20 of them) and left them there, without food or water at room temperature. They survived 3 weeks! Generally speaking if a cricket is fed and watered, with a dark place to hide ( e.g. piece of egg box), plenty of ventilation and enough space for them not to be riding each others backs. They will live a very long time for an insect of its size. I would say they would last 2 months - 8 months if you give them the right heating requirements, some will even breed! I assume you are talking about desert crickets? I have never really had mine last longer than a couple of months because my gecko is requiring constant access to food.

Hope this helps! Laurence485
