Wild Grays will often take food right from my fingertips, my American Green took several months to get comfortable with this. So time and patience will be a big factor here.
You can try putting the crickets in the freezer for a minute or so- long enough for them to stop moving but not long enough to kill them. Drop some in front of each frog. As the crickets warm up and stop moving, they are easy pickings and you may be able to see both frogs eat this way. Not much help if they're sitting side by side so if you're still worried about them both eating, be sure to provide an abundance of food.
Also, in the two years I think I've seen my American Green sitting in it's water pool a grand total of one time, and on the ground maybe only a couple dozen times and even then only briefly. My Grays will soak themselves frequently, and although they prefer to be up on perches after eating something on the ground they tend to sit on the bottom of the tank for a few hours contemplating life.
