Could you maybe send pictures of the setup you made?

Mealworms should be fine for it.
Are cane toads native in your area? - If yes, I´d recommend to release it somewhere in the wild, where it might have a good chance to survive on its own.

I think those pictures might be the set up?

Dude, they belong into the wild and if you let it free in an safe area, then it will propably be fine-

Get rid of the tinfoil. And the price-stickers(?). and this pill bottle. And the plastic bag. And basically everything else thats not natural.
And could you maybe send a better picture of the setup? Maybe taken from the top, so there is an overview of it?

Calcium is in egg shells, but I wouldn´t recommend to use it.
Just gie it the mealworms and that should do for now.
But if you really need this, then buy it.
If you really want to keep the toad fine, then you should care more about its wellbeeing than about not having to spend money for important supplements.

As I´ve said.
It would be easier, if you could provide better pictures of your current setup.
But try to get an terrarium (or a aquarium with a lid) and proper substrate like coco fiber. Also a water bowl and a small hide are needed. And proper lightning (with UVB) would also be good.
And try to use things from a pet store, as they are sure to not have any stains of possibly harmful substances on them.
Also don´t handle it very much, because this is not good for amphibians, as they breathe through their skin.
And if you handle it, always wash your hands first (no soap, just warm water and make sure to get them really clean).

Dude we are talking of cane toad, they are killed here they are like plague
Maybe because they are a plague and damage the local ecosystem?

And also: Why the hell do you have a tarantula in your mouth on your profile picture?
Why would you do that?

Okay, so based of these pictures I would recommend that you fully clean the enclosure of everything in it and then keep the toad on a bare bottom until you manage to get some proper substrate.
The water dish looks good, but try to put something in that helps the toad in climbing out.
And take the rusty metal out, as the toad might hurt itself on it.
So I´d recomment that for now, you take everything out of the enclosure and clean it (except the water dish, the hide and the toad). And in order of getting substrate, I think the cheapest thing would be that you take something from nature (best when the area is as clean as possible).
Also you could use eggshells and put them and some grain into a seperate box and add the mealworms. The worms will eat the eggshells (basically calcium) and when the toad eats them, it gets the calcium it needs.
I just googled it and found out that the toads don´t need the UVB, if they get a healty enough diet.
So try to feed the feeding insects for them with healthy things and then the toad will be healthy as well.
