keeping crickets/ T food

Hi all,
I own 2 T's (one has been posted here trying to figure out exactly what kind of T she is lol)
I HATE keeping crickets, I get 3 dozen for example and in one week there all dead other the couple used to feed
what Am I doing wrong
I keep them in a well ventilated decent sized container with egg carton peaces to have shelter and what not

I give them a few pieces of ice daily as I was told my a store to help keep them longer
yet they still die sooo quick its a shame to waste so much.

any suggestions?

also my 2 T's are pretty much adults now I heard alot of you saying you feed your T's F/T pinkies this would be GREAT how exactly do you feed them this? T's being ambush types and all?


Thank you very much for the info

I think the T's I have are a Zebra and a Pink Beauty Zebra
will post a pic each of them later today

Also how do I handle these guys ? the pink beauty seems docile but I am too chiken to pick her up by sliding her in my hand lol all I do is move my hand very slowly in the cage for her to see me then I touch her legs, she lets me just fine and don't attack/go into a strike position, she just sits there

my zebra/other T on the other hand is a Bi*** wow lol she has striked at me more than once, if i take a small piece of branch and VERY gently try to move her out of the way so i can clean her water dish and cotton thing she tries to attack the daylights out of it (grabs it and fangs it lol) but I move it out before she gets it. pretty funny in a way
I still love her and give her a good home though!
