Help me, they're dying!

I think it would be best to post lots of photos of the frogs so they can be identified.
Once identified, you will be able to obtain the information necessary to establish the proper environment for them.

Can you identify by the Photos?

Looks like a ordinary california toads

How are they doing?

Normal house temps and normal house humidity should be fine for most toads. 40-45% is enough humidty. If they are dry they will enter and soak in the water dish. If you find them spending to much time in the water dish THEN, and ONLY THEN water down the substrate. Toads don't mind dry substrate.

I'd also take away any heat lamp, or lamp above their cage as most species are nocturnal anyways. If the tank is near a window that should be enough light.

On another note, if one toad had red leg sometimes it doesn't show up as vividly on others. Sometimes their skin might look a little slimey behind the legs but not have the sharp red coloring and they'll still die. If you found it with red leg in that tank the best bet is moving them to a brand new tank with new substrate. I can't tell you how many times even after washing the tank hard core and cleaning the pool, hides and stuff that red leg has snuck back into the enclosure.

This is generally why its not wise to house so many frogs or toads together. Two or three tops in the same tank.

If you ever attempt to raise toadlets again I'd suggest starting a pill bug culture, they are easy to keep in a low flat tub and breed tiny little pill bugs with soft shells for toadlets. Those crickets you have in there are way to large.
