have you seen them eat? I don't know anything tadpoles and newts and such. Where have you been finding them dead? In the water? or out?

in the water with `lots of tadpoles eating them already dead

Some species turn cannibalistic around this point, so maybe that's it?

How far along are they in development? At one point many tadpoles radically change in needs and diet, so it could be this.
