(1) your enclosure will be too small in the near future
(2) Your monitor will feel more secure if he's hiding underneath (or in) something that touches him on all sides - so therefore a "big" hide isn't as useful. He would much prefer to squeeze into something than take advantage of a larger space. Do some research on "Retes stacks" (thanks Frank) - you should find some pictures and further information on good layouts for hide spots.
(3)It's hard to judge your situation without having more info, like: how was his behavior when you bought him? What are your temperatures like? What are you feeding him? What is your substrate? I know it's been said that monitors are "hard to kill", and I don't know if it's the season, the keepers, the distributors or what, but it seems quite a few savannah's aren't doing too well around here.
Back to your question - offer food every day, but get the crickets out of his enclosure if they aren't being eaten and try again the next day.
