Exo-Terra with background and crickets.

Isn't the whole point of the exo terra backgrounds to add depth to the terrarium?

I agree. This is why I opt to keep mine in, as well. There's so much stuff (plants, driftwood, leaves) in my tank, they're bound to hide SOMEWHERE, anyway. Just as long as I've had a visual that they are getting some food, I don't worry too much about them hiding.

Let them hide, but put in cricket food in the bottom or front of the cage on the floor. The crickets will come out to eat, and will seek out something easy and/or more palatable than the frogs or other foliage within the enclosure. This will also help keep them from eating the styrofoam - hungry crickets will eat holes through the exoterra backgrounds, which can cause problems if your frogs eat the bugs with styrofoam in their gut.

Also, remember to change the
cricket food after all the crickets are gone.
If you don't, it will develop mold.

UPDATE: After settling in their new home, my RETFs have adapted to the crickets gathering along the top of the background. Last night I caught them stuck to the top of the background just waiting for a cricket to come out. This morning I noticed there was only 2 crickets remaining and some poop on the front glass. They know now where to hunt
