How can I make it easier to live-feed my frogs?
I used to have Indonesian Floating Frogs (they go by many names, but this is what my pet store called them), and while I found them cute and such, I struggled a lot with making sure they stayed fed, as they need to be fed live food (pinhead crickets were recommended to me). It wasn't that I was too scared to touch the crickets, but they were prone to escaping the moment I opened their little plastic box house. The whole thing was quite stressful, as I found it so difficult to make sure my little froggies got fed (and I suspect they died because of underfeeding, which makes me feel -terrible-).
How can I make it easier to feed them if I choose to get more frogs in the future?

We have a White's tree frog and an American toad, and feed live crickets to both. We've had good success with this box, which is available at pet stores:
The box comes with a very nice mechanism for transferring the crickets to your frog cage. In the picture, you can see the two black tubes sticking out. The tubes are capped on one end and removable. Inside the box, the crickets can travel up the tubes and sit inside. Then when it is time to feed crickets to the frogs, you just pull one of the tubes out and stick your hand over the open end to prevent the crickets from getting out. Then you can shake the crickets out into the frog cage. If you want to coat the crickets with vitamins for the frog, you can use the tube as a shaker.
