Mine were a bit sooky and off the tucker last night (20deg) but I just put it down to wet weather behaviour, like air pressure changes and photoperiod.

3 days quick rush it to the doctor...lol...nothing to worry about 5 crickets for a 3 month old is heaps to last well over a week, 22c is fine but you can boost it up to 26-28 if you want, yes they do sulk alot so at that age its best not to handle alot, try feeding him again on the weekend, try and introduce the crickets one by one as dropping in a few can confuse the poor little things and not eat.
