    The most likely to causes what are you there have been the toads had some type of deformity and they were going to die regardless or could be there was not enough food offered. Whenever they lose their tails for a very long time until they can begin eating small crickets they should be fed every single day fruit flies. So what most likely was the case some of the Toads died from lack of food and others died from deformities maybe you could not see them but they could have been internal. I hope this helps

    I second starvation. I'm not an expert, but my froglets ate 20 or so fruit flies each, every single day, until they were big enough for crickets.

    Unfortunately starvation seems most likely, but you can't rule out natural casualties either. I raised my 3 toads from tadpoles and they're about 4 months old now. The amount they ate at that stage was astonishing, there's really no overfeeding them when they're that young imo. I started feeding as much as they could eat once a day and then I switched to feeding slightly lesser amounts 2 times a day to ensure the flies didn't have time to groom the powder off. Were you using a multivitamin?
