    Hi! I would start by trying to keep the enclosure warm. Around 65f is the lowest temperature for these toads. I personally try to keep my toads at 69 minimum.
    Apart from that, stress is a possible factor. To reduce stress you can avoid handling the frog, keep it's enclosure in a low traffic area, and cover the back and/or sides of the tank, as well as make sure he has lots of hiding places.
    What kind of tank is he in? What kind of decor etc? A picture of the tank would be helpful.
    On another note, frogs and toads in captivity require vitamin and calcium supplements(calcium+d3 and a multivitamin) to avoid dangerous illnesses.

    Good luck! I hope you can get your toad eating again.

    Being cold blooded, toads do not eat if they are too cold. As Bryce said, warm it up. Feed it in its enclosure. Count the number of crickets or other prey items that you put in there, and you will be getting an idea of how much it is eating.
    A couple other points- feed it more. It looks skinny in the photos. Young toads eat a LOT.
    Also, toads do not drink. They absorb moisture through their skin- maybe that's what you meant by drinking.

    I'd add that if your toad is used to your company and enjoys it neglecting the toad will stress them, too. My Lydia is VERY about her time with me, if I'm out all day when I get home she wants out right away and then climbs me and cuddles me and will curl up on me and nap. So, pay attention to Your Toads stress signals. They're very communicative when you pay attention

    I also wanted to reaffirm as above that this sounds like the temperature drop is the issue, that's hibernation and stay warm behaviour. Have you raised the temperature for your little one?
