No, the turtle will eat that toad. Plus, the toad might hurt your turtle, poison it or your turtle might choke on it. Also do not introduce wild-caught animals to your turtle.

Toads secrete poison from their glands (people think they are warts) when in danger. That may poison your turtle. You should build him a toad home in your garden if you have one. Just google it and you can learn how to make one. Toads also need a lot of dry land so a turtle habitat would not be suitable for a toad.
