separate them
it seems u catch alot of injured wild life in your yard are u sure there injured and it isnt u just want some cheap pets. look if there well enough u need to let them go because keeping wild caught toads in captivity (as pets) is cruel immoral and environmentally reprehensible and as an adult u should know better. when a wild animal i removed from its natural environment and put in a confined space it causes massive amounts of stress. this affects herps (reptiles and amphibians) very badly worse than most other orders many die simply from the stress of being in captivity it also weakens there immune system meaning more die from disease. those that survive suffer from stress related behaviour disorders, stress related illness and have a shortened life span. there quality of life is pretty bad too
if u really think they are that badly injured u need to find a specialist vet get them checked over and realistically find some1 with experience with keeping and caring for amphibians and give the toads to them so they can get the care they need

it would want to sound loopy yet, try a really small ball of floor beef on a thread. Wave it round in the front of them. Or get a butterfly internet and scoop by your grassy container and keep the smallest insects you seize.

It's hard to say based on just this. Separating them immediately would seem to be the immediate action, but then quarantining them based on the nature of their injuries and then setting them free.
