1. Most toads live on dry land and only enter water for mating. They need a pool, but not a tank.
2. Without knowing the species, we can't help a ton, but most toads eat insects. Crickets are a common solution.
3. Wild-caught animals usually make poor long-term pets- the stress of captivity is really hard on them. I recommend letting it go after a few days.

why not let it into the wild? I bet he can take care of himself in a proper way. Anyways, to answer your question you should get a heating lamp because the are cold blooded and need a source of heat to keep them warm, get grasses and insects like crickets, flies, mosquitoes and always remember to keep the tank clean and with fresh water.

He needs to be able to get out of the water. Toads like to burrow holes to hide out in. They will eat diffeent kinds of bugs and also earthworms.

It needs to be set FREE!!! I am always saddened by people who think it is nice and or cool to take an animal out of its natural habitat. If you want a frog or a toad, go to your local pet store and buy one that will never see the wild wether it likes it or not.
Please respect the wildlife in your environment by letting it remain wild. PLEASE PLEASE..

Crickets. You can buy them at your local pet store. The store staff can answer any other questions you may have.

CRICKETS AND MAYBE SOME ALGAE ENZYME TO PREVENT ROT. A HEAT LAMP MIGHT HELP TOO.
