If it's all you got, then probably. If not, then I would just use charcoal. (Also, burnt toast brought in mind TheGamingBeaver's Toast dinosaur, but all charred and sad... I don't know why, but it burns me up inside...) all jokes aside, it would probably depend on the texture of your toast. I'm not quite sure, but I believe that your charcoal needs to be powdery for springtails. (I'm sure I got that wrong and have 1000 people adding me as foe xd). If your toast is crumbly enough to turn to "dust" then just do it. If it's hard as rock then never mind. Also, basically 1% of all I said is non-important because you asked this question in June, and I replied in November... welp

I've never heard of Charcoal being used with springtails until now. Is there are reason why in the first place? My springtails did just fine subsisting off of the ants leftovers

Charcole is always used for springtail cultures, if you have springtails in an ant nest that is different.
