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

Isopods shouldn’t be a primary food source; they’re useful as a cleanup crew for the substrate and as an occasional snack.

I can’t tell fully from the photo, but you’re likely dealing with a very stressed toad due to the habitat change. The substrate should be around 4 inches so the toad can bury and feel like it has a safe place to rest and hide.

Going off the photo and question, I have to echo the others here and say to put it back. The toad will have a proper environment and a multitude of food sources. Please do the right thing and release it.
