    Could water contamination have killed them? Ammonia, nitrite, nitrate buildup?

    No I change water on a regular basis. They needed a place to climb out of the water at this stage.

    Thats a shame - have had similar problems in the past. Its amazing how much tail can be intact when the tads leave the water.
    I use small pieces of cork but have also found the plant salvinia auriculata very useful too (especially when raising individual tads in plastic cups)

    Right now I moving them to a larger container that has sphagnum moss at one end. They climb right out on that. Just before I figure they will crawl out I seed the tank with springtails. Man do they multiply fast in that stuff. Shame I did not figure this out sooner. I lost some really nice looking ones. The salvinia auriculata is a nice idea. I'm using some some standard aquarium plant now who's name escapes me.
