Lol, "baby" toads are tadpoles.
Toads carry parasites. I wouldn't feed it to anything. Release it back where you found it.

Only feed prey that is bred for food, anyhting wild caught carries the risk of parasites and disease. Hence why reptiles in captivity tend to live longer than those in the wild :)

As tempting as it is to feed the toad away, don't. A buddy of mine once caught a mouse in his house, fed it to his king snake, then the king snake regurgitated the mouse and died later that week.

Not to mention that all amphibians secrete toxins from their skin.
