i found this American toad the other day and he is the absolute cutest thing. i bought him a tank and put some coconut substrate in it and rocks and a bowl of water. he was swimming the first day i got him and hopping around and climbing a lot. the second day, he slept a lot but swimmed again and hopped around a lot again and then went to bed earlier than the day before. now for like 3 days straight, he's been sleeping 99% of the time and only wakes up to move a little bit. maybe it's also worth mentioning i tried to feed him crickets a few days ago and it really freaked him out cuz i took him out of his cage to put him in a different cage where he would eat the crickets and he got really scared. :( he hasn't eaten anything this whole time !!! :( how can i get him to eat if anyone knows? he won't wake up to even eat or soak in his bowl! i spray him w water so he stays hydrated.
 
these kind of toads like to burrow a lot, so make sure you have enough substrate in there for that. also, it's normal for an animal to be withdrawn when first put into a new environment. I wouldn't take him out of his terrarium to eat, its find to put the food right in. If he doesn't eat the crickets make sure to remove them because they can pick at his skin while he's sleeping.

he'll likely eat in a day or two once he's left alone to relax or settle in. They are typically very good eaters and like a variety of different things. If crickets don't work you can try nightcrawlers, meal worms, or even those little rolly polly pill bugs that you find under rocks outside. good luck!
