Question
Well.. I catched a western toad three days ago and she is not any of the crickets I give him.

Answer
Dear Jorge.
thank you for your question.
I suggest that you bring the toad back where you found it. It was born free and should remain that way, especially since it's not eating in captivity - normally frogs and toads eat all they can. Depending on where you live, the toad might be preparing to hibernate now and doesn't eat anything because of that.
You can easily get captivity-bred toads from breeders, those are used to being kept in enclosures and to humans, I think that this is a far better option for you if you want a toad as a pet.
I hope I was of some help to you
