Enclosure size ideals aside, the problem is too many bugs running wild. Larger crickets can cause damage to baby lizards by chewing on eyelids as well as toe and tail tips. Crawling over them while they sleep causes stress. I would set out some food just for the loose crickets like an apple slice so the bugs will eat that instead of the Ackies. If they don't relish crickets try other bugs. I would say that well designed enclosures will often harbor crickets. Since your lizards are new there can be a settle in period and given time as they become adapted to their new setup they will probably find all those crevices that the crickets retreat into and this should become less of a problem.
Good luck-
