wait a few days. place the crickets in a dish that is several inches deep so the crickets can't get out so you can monitor eating. try feeding roaches ( i've heard fimbriatus usually prefer roaches over crickets)
also i would probably drop the temp just a few degrees ( 72-76)
they sometimes take 4-6 days to start eating.
most lizards can go a week or more very easily without having any major effects on their health. just make sure you're watering a ton and the animal isn't located in a high traffic area where it may be getting stressed out.
