It really depends on what species of frog you've got. If you have one of them aquatic African Dwarf Frogs, then yeah you can try that. The majority of frogs, however, will only eat things that move like crickets and plus that's just closer to their natural diet!

If it is wild caught, chances are it won't eat them. Stranger things have happened, but you would be better off just feeding the toad whole, live insects. Better nutrional value, IMO.

Most land frogs need to eat live food. They don't register something as food unless it's moving. Hypothetically, you could move a food stick around in front of the frog, but I'd guess that it would be frightened, and the stick would be too hard and could become lodged in the frog's throat. You can feed premoistened food sticks to aquatic frogs such as clawed frogs, but toads and ranid frogs need live crickets or something similarly live.
