the crickets right now are tiny and I have an issue with grip in my hands, grabbing them with the tongs is a bit painful and frustrating lol maybe when the frog gets a larger and can have larger crickets it might not be so bad but its more of an issue on my end with the small ones, hence the escapees.. which I never found. worms on the other end wont be so bad, I have cut them up in the past to add to dough balls for my dad's fishing bait etc and should have a better time at gripping them with the tongs.
