Fire Belly Toad Tadpole, help!?

My friend gave me some of her tadpoles and I've been following everything I've found online. My problem is, I've lost one already (drowned). One of the other two has started coming out of the water and almost drowned (lowered the water to 2", have a large piece of drift wood and 3 pieces of moss in there now). My question is:

They still have their tails and I have read that they wont need to eat until its gone, but I have also read they do. Which one is it? The one wont go back into the water and I have a reptile store with 1 week old crickets that I can buy (as well as a person off Kijiji who has a flightless fruit fly culture I can pick up this weekend). So help! I don't want to lose these two.

    They certainly do need to be fed while they have their tails.
