    Like John said it takes time.
    My red spotted toad was wild caught and it took her 4 or 5 months to settle down. I never saw her eat when I first got her but now ill see her catch a few. And while she still doesn't really like being picked up, she'll now tolerate it to be moved when I clean her.
    I kept my toad in the bedroom, that way she would see people come in and out and not hurt her, but it wasn't the most active room in the house.
    The little guy just needs some adjusting time to get used to recognizing you as something that won't kill him.

    I have had some of my Bufonids for years and they still haven't calmed down.

    I have a two B. nebulifer that will actually sit in my hand on their own accord to feed. The other three will eat from my hand, but not in it. The rest of my toads run for cover even at feeding time.
    Watching FrogTV because it is better when someone else has to maintain the enclosure!

    I used to have an American Toad. He was was wild caught, and within a week of capture he would eat from my fingers. Sadly, he dried up when I was staying with a family member in a hospital.
