If you mean a minute or 2, no, they won't all die, but you will have very little time at that temp.
I also wouldn't put the food and water in first. They're just going to get full of cricket poo.
I caught the special on Ghann's Cricket Farm on Dirty Jobs last night and to get cricket out of the bins, they place cardboard towers (you could use the tubes) VERTICALLY in the bins. The crickets just swarm up the vertical surface. Pick up the loaded tube and shake. Wish I'd known that back when I was breeding them.
I'm sure you've heard it a thousand times, but save yourself the trouble and breed roaches.

Thanks. Yeah, these crickets are strictly temporary while my dubia colony reaches self-sustaining levels. But I just started the colony, and with just 25 adults, so it may be a while...
Interesting - I've always put the tubes horizontally!
