My crickets were gut loaded with Nature Zone Total Bites for over a year now I use a local Flukers Orange Cube Complete cricket diet. For a while I was using carrot sticks in their diet to, I'll go back to that. My plexiglass lids (fitted sheets) barely fit, I should have accounted for over lap. What should I do to avoid collapse? thank you for your tips!
Can you provide pics and tell us what kind of enclosure you are utilizing? If a regular 15 gal. tank; then get a screen top for it and a large Fluker's dome with built in dimmer and a 100-150W Ceramic Heat Emitter. Once you get all that, remove (or turn off) the heat pad. Cover the whole top with aluminum foil (tape to edges) and place the dome on it. Locate dome on top with an in. clearance from edge and trace it's outline in the foil with sharpie marker. Then use a scissor to cut the hole out around 1 in. from the traced circle. Then set everything on and turn dimmer around 1/4 way. Watch your thermometer and adjust the dimmer knob until you have the desired temperature. Once done, place that dimmer away from little hands and you are done.

As Dan stated, your frog appears stunted. That could be the partial result of too low temps. You do not need to buy humidifiers right now, just spray twice a day. You need to correct the low temperatures and if in you place, would invest in that first.

Fluker's Orange Cricket cubes have one of the worse feedback rate's I've seen in any product. Feed them fresh food listed in previous response instead.
