Losses happen, but that does seem quite a lot to lose in one year unless your dealing with fresh imports that fail to become established in spite of best efforts. Were these long term captives that had been doing well? If so you must be having pretty bad luck. I am particularly surprised at the fbt's and the Colorado river toad as those are usually quite hearty and are not normally prone to disease when kept in suitable conditions(as I assume they were).
