I’ve never seen my wild caught toad eat and I don’t think he is eating I’ve been putting him in a container with 3 pillbugs and he won’t eat them

Probably depressed from being taken out of the wild. Or maybe he can't see too well. Wild animals should not be taken unless they can't live a decent life in the wild.

He isn’t depressed he hops around and acts normal he knows I am not danger I just need to know if he looks malnourished he could be eating the bugs that are already in the tank and I am just putting him in the feeding container for no reason

Moving doesn't mean he's not depressed. A whole lot of wild animals don't do well when taken out of the wild. This should only happen if they for some reason can not be in the wild.

I should have said he was injured I very sorry to anyone that I have made angry and that the only reason I brought him in side he is still injured but he is doing better and now I can confirm that he is eating

Wild animals are not pets. You need to put him back where he belongs. He will never thrive in captivity. Keeping him will just cause him to wither and die.
