They must be going mad in
They must be going mad in there for some reason, generally they might only lose a couple?
Is there some ice in there?
If not put water in, fresh or salt.
Fresh of course will kill them but so will salt if left too long without freshening it.

Simple just rinse trhe esky
Simple just rinse trhe esky out using salt water when you are out there, they seem to react to any trace of dried salt on the containers. Or as above straight into ice slurry.
