How will the crickets know if there is food for them in the enclosure?
And I have tried earthworms and mealworms. Maybe I can try fruit flies or something

Try flies. The buzzing sound of the flies gets my Grey Tree Frog super excited. he is like a 2 year old in a candy store with flies. I get flies from my window(only because I got him from my back yard as a egg so if he lived him my yard he would eat the crickets and flies and whatever) I drop them into his tank and its all over for the flies. I say you can leave a cricket or 2 in the tank with him but if you put PLAIN popcorn for the crickets to eat they will leave your frog alone. Just change the food for the crickets everyday do it doesn't mold. My vet said it won't harm the frog if its plain popcorn.
Try the http://www.frogforum.net/vivarium-te...owl-trick.html Either put the crickets directly in the dish, or bury the dish so it's lip is level with the substrate and use it as a pitfall trap for the free range crickets so they don't get to roam indefinitely.
You can also try wax moths as an enticing food item (they're the adult form of the readily available waxworms).
I agree with Brian.
Feeding them in a bowl has a so many advantages.
My tree frogs go 'bonkers' over wax worm moths.
They are easy to culture. ( and smell nice ! ) Like honey !
